Using the GPSMAP 3005C
This section explains how to enter and select information with the
GPSMAP 3005C.
Understanding the Features
The advanced keypad system on the GPSMAP 3005C is designed to allow you to
select options and enter data quickly and conveniently. 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. Highlight 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.
Selecting Options and Entering Data
To select options and enter data, use the ROCKER to highlight or select an
item in a list or a field on the screen. Use the ENTER key, soft keys, and the
ROCKER to select options, enter names and numbers in data fields, and activate
your selections.
