Nav Data Page
The Nav Data page gives you access to the powerful navigational features
of your GPS 500. From this page, you can create and store up to 500
waypoints. For each one, you can choose a name and assign a symbol.
Using the navigational features, you can ask the unit to show you the
“GoTo” direction of travel to reach a selected waypoint.
The coordinates for hundreds of cities/towns throughout the world are
already stored in your GPS 500. You can select any city/town and ask your
unit to show you the "GoTo" direction of travel to that city/town.
With optional computer software and interface cable, you can connect your
GPS 500 to a computer mapping database to access the coordinates for
points of interest (POIs). (See “Using the Data Interface,” page 48.) Once
stored in the unit’s memory, points of interest can be used as waypoints for
navigation.
You can also create and store up to 10 tracks. Your GPS 500 automatically
keeps a record of your progress as you travel and gives you a graphic
representation of the track you have taken. You can ask the unit to guide
you in the reverse direction along the same track.
You can select two or more waypoints or points of interest to create up to
20 routes. Your GPS 500 will then show you the way to follow the route
accurately.
To assist in your navigations, the GPS 500 is already programmed with
continental U.S. state, Canadian provincial and European country boundaries.
Whenever navigation is in progress, a “hiker” icon
will appear next to
the corresponding selection on the main Nav Data page
. The “data”
icon and the “hiker “ icon will also appear in the lower right hand corner of
the Map page and Gauges page
.
