The position page displays your current position’s lat­
itude, longitude, altitude and time numerically. It dis­
plays your track (compass direction) and speed whenev­

position displayed is the last computed position stored in
memory. To speed up the acquisition process, you can
enter a more accurate initial position or reference airport
(see page 63). Be sure to accurately enter the latitude and
longitude to the nearest degree.
To manually enter a position:

GPS altitude for vertical navigation.
To enter an altitude manually:
1. Highlight the altitude field.
2. Use the alphanumeric keys to enter the altitude.
3. Press to confirm the altitude.
The position page also features a resettable trip
odometer to measure the total distance traveled while
navigating.
To reset the trip odometer:
1. Highlightthe trip field.
2. Press the left arrow key while the highlight Is on the left
most character position.
