The GPS 89S map page plots your course and route on a
moving map. The map page also provides you with a mov­
ing map cursor that will let you pan ahead and review near­
by waypoints, determine the distance and bearing to map
position and mark new waypoints. The map page can be bro­
ken down into three sections:
The zoom, panning control and map configuration
fields are all 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 pan field provides access to the
map cursor, while the configuration field allows you to
specify what items are displayed and when they appear.
The map portion of the page show^ your movement
over ground. Your present position is indiated by a plane
icon (in track up mode), or a position diamond (in other
modes), with your track and/or route displayed as a sobd
line. Nearby waypoints are represented as squares, with the
waypoint name also listed. Through the map configuration
page, you may setea which features are displayed (see page
36 for more information).
The data fields located at the four comers of the map,
show various navigational data, including the bearing and
distance to a destination waypoint and your current track
and speed over ground. The two fields at the top comers of
the map show your bearing and distance to one of three
selectable destinations: an active destination waypoint, a
highlighted on-screen waypoint, or the target crosshair. If
you are not navigating to a waypoint or using the panning
function, the top data fields will not be displayed.
