to DESTINATION
The GPS provides a straight line, direct navigation
course to your destination. Since it is not always
possible to follow a straight line from start to finish,
as you move, the Pointer always points toward your
destination and the Compass Ring always shows
your current track.
Starting to Navigate
With the unit on and displaying 3D GPS Location on
the GPS Information page, mark a waypoint at your
current location. Name this waypoint HOME, assign
the Residence Symbol, and store the waypoint.
Before starting to navigate, let’s clear the Track Log.
The Track Log is the bread crumb trail left on the Map
page and Highway page.
To clear the Track Log:
1. Press MeNU twice to display the Main Menu.
2. Highlight TRACKS then press the eNTeR key.
3. Highlight CLeAR, then press eNTeR.
4. Highlight the YeS button then press eNTeR.
4. Press PAGe until the Map page is displayed.
Begin walking holding the GPSMAP 76 in front of
you with the top of the unit pointed toward the sky. As
you move, you see that the unit leaves a bread crumb
trail on the map indicating where you have been. Walk
at least a two minutes in one direction and then make
either a right or left turn. Continue walking in this new
direction for approximately another two minutes.
