The GPS 120 features a powerful moving map

display that can do much more than just plot your
course and route. The Map Page also provides you
with a moving map cursor that will let you pan
ahead to nearby waypoints, determine the distance
and bearing to any map position and mark new

waypoints white you navigate.

The Map Page can be broken down into three

main sections:

The zoom function and panning control fields

are located at the top of the screen. There are 12
selectable zoom ranges from 0.2 to 320 miles or

0.5 to 600 km, measured vertically.

The map portion of the page is bordered by an

8 x 1 0 grid to help you estimate distances based
on the map scale you are using. Your present posi­
tion is indicated by a position diamond, with your
track and/or route displayed as a solid line. Nearby
waypoints are represented as squares, with the
waypoint name also listed. You may select which
of these features are shown through the map setup
submenu page (see page 43 for more information).

The last fields directly helow the map show your

hearing and distance to one of three selectable des­

tinations: an active destination waypoint; a high­

lighted on-screen waypoint; or to the panning tar­
get crosshair. Your current track and speed are dis­
played just helow the bearing and distance fields.
