Garmin GPS 12MAP - Manual (Page 20)

10
The GPS 12 MAP’s Highway Page also
provides graphic steering guidance to a destina-
tion waypoint. As you head toward your
destination, the middle of the screen provides
visual guidance to your waypoint on a moving
graphic “highway.” Your present position is at
the bottom center of the highway display. The
line down the middle of the highway represents
your desired course. As you navigate toward a
waypoint, the highway will actually move—
indicating the direction you’re off course. To
stay on course, simply move toward the center
of the highway.
The top of the page indicates speed and
distance to your destination (or the next
waypoint in a route), along with a track
compass showing current direction of travel.
Next to the speed reading is the time required
to reach your destination (or the next waypoint
in a route), in hours/minutes or minutes/
seconds. The pointer also shows the bearing to
your destination, relative to your current track.
If the pointer points straight ahead, you’re
heading directly to your destination!
Use the Highway Page as your primary
navigation page (in lieu of the Compass Page)
when your main concern is following a defined
course.

GETTING STARTED
