Getting Started
Map Page
The Map Page is one of six main pages used in the GPSMAP 182/182C/232’s system. The six main
pages are the Map Page, Sonar Page (If equipped with GSD 20), Compass Page, Numbers Page, Highway
Page, and Active Route Page. All five pages are linked together in a simple chain, which allows you to
scroll through the pages in either direction using the PAGE and QUIT keys.
The GPSMAP 182/182C/232’s Map Page combines digital chartplotting with a user-selectable
display of navigation data and a built-in worldwide database. It will also be the page you use most to
create and edit waypoints and routes. Before we take off on our practice route, let’s take a brief look at its
various features and displays.
The map display shows your “boat” as a triangle marker on an electronically generated chart.
Geographic names, roads, markers and buoys that are provided by the optional BlueChart or MapSource
data are also shown. It also displays your track, routes and nearby waypoints. An on-screen cursor
lets you pan to other map areas, determine the range and bearing to a position, and perform various
waypoint and route functions.
The data window, located at the top of the page, provides a user-selectable display of various naviga-
tion data, including speed over ground, distance to the next navigation point, compass ribbon and
current position coordinates. The current map scale setting is located at the bottom right of the page.
