Customize Page Displays

Every Page display option except Full Map (on the Map Page) has cus-

tomizable data boxes to provide constant on-screen information.
The data available from your unit is divided into categories in the Data

Viewer menu. These categories include: GPS Data, Navigation, Trip

Calculator, Time and Sensor Data. You can select items from any of

these categories for display in any data box — the category divisions

are only there to help you sort through the information.
