It's the speed that you're making toward the waypoint. For instruc-

tions, see the Customize Page Displays entry in Sec. 8.)
Track is the heading, or the current direction you are actually travel-

ing. Bearing is the direction of a line-of-sight from your present posi-

tion to the destination. No matter what direction you are steering, the

Bearing window shows the compass direction straight to the destina-

tion from your location at the moment. Distance shows how far it is to

the waypoint you're navigating toward.
The Off Course window shows the current cross track error. This shows

the distance you are off-course to the side of the desired course line. The

course line is an imaginary line drawn from your position when you

started navigating to the destination waypoint. The course line is shown

on the Navigation Page screen (and the Map Page screen) as a dotted line.

Navigation Page.

The cross track error range is shown on the compass rose as a wide,

white, corridor enclosing the course line. The outer edges of this white

corridor represent lines that show the current cross track error range.

The default for the cross track error range is 0.20 miles.
For example, if the present position symbol touches the right cross

track error line, then you are 0.20 miles to the right of the desired

course. You need to steer left to return to the desired course. You can

use the

ZIN

or

ZOUT

keys to change the cross track error range.
