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 various data available from your unit are divided into categories in

the Data Viewer menu. These categories include GPS Data, Naviga-

tion, Trip Calculator and Time. 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.
