Using the GPSMAP 3205

This section explains how to enter and select information with the

GPSMAP 3205.

Understanding the Features

The advanced keypad system on the GPSMAP 3205 is designed to allow quick,

convenient selection of navigation options and data entry. As you progress

through this owner’s manual, you are directed to press a specific key or highlight

a field on the screen. When you are directed to press a key, you should press and

quickly release the key. If you need to hold down the key for a period of time

to activate a secondary function, the instructions tell you to do so. The location

of the highlight is controlled by the ROCKER. When a field is selected on the

screen, it is highlighted in yellow.
The following terms are used throughout this manual:

• highlight—move the highlighted area on the screen up, down, left, or right

with the ROCKER to select individual fields. Moving the highlight to a

given location allows you to make a selection, begin data entry, or scroll

through a list.

• Field—the location on a page where data or an option can be entered and

displayed. The pointer is placed on a field using the ROCKER to begin

entering data or selecting options.

Soft keys—located along the bottom of the screen, soft keys are used as

shortcuts to select the most commonly used options for the selected page,

window, or tab. To select a soft key, press the

key directly below it.

• On-Screen button—use the ROCKER to highlight an on-screen button,

and press ENTER to select the button.

a scroll bar appears along the right side of the list. To scroll through a list,

press up or down on the ROCKER. Press right or left on the ROCKER to

scroll one page at a time.

• Default—the factory setting saved in the unit’s memory. You can change

the settings, but you can also revert to the factory (default) settings when

you press the Factory Dflts soft key on the System–General sub tab.
