Altitude is height above sea level, not ground level. Speed (ground
speed) is the velocity you are making over the ground. Closing Speed

is also known as velocity made good. It's the speed that you're making

toward a destination.

Distance shows how far it is to the next waypoint you're navigating
toward. Total Distance tells how far to a final destination when navi-

gating a route or trail. If your route has multiple legs, this option will

total them for you.

Travel Time (ETE) is the time it will take to reach your destination
at your present closing speed. Arrival Time (ETA) is the local time

that it will be when you arrive at the destination, based upon your pre-
sent closing speed and track. Total Travel time tells how long it will

take to reach a final destination when navigating a route or trail.

Track is the heading, or the current direction you are actually traveling.
