Using the Highway Page (continued)

As you head toward your destination, the middle sec-

tion of the screen provides visual guidance to your way-
point on a moving graphic ‘highway’. The moving arrow
just below the course deviation scale always points to your
selected waypoint relative to the direction you are moving.

Your present position is represented by the diamond in

the center of the course deviation scale. The line down the
middle of the highway represents your desired track. As
you navigate toward a waypoint, the highway will actually
move, indicating the direction you’re off course, relative to
the position diamond on the CDI scale. To stay on course,
simply steer toward the center of the highway.

While navigating, you may decide to view the compass

page (see picture above left) instead of the highway page.

To select the compass page:

1. While viewing the highway page press

E

twice.

The compass page will now become the displayed navi-

gation page. This page provides a directional pointer to
your destination, by using a rotating compass display to
show direction of travel. It provides better steering guid-
ance at slower speeds for travel with many directional
changes.

To switch back to the highway page, press ENTER

twice, again.
