. Some of the popular information displays include:
Altitude
is height above sea level, not ground level.
Speed
(ground
speed) is the velocity you are making over the ground.
Closing Speed
is also known as velocity made good. It's the speed that you're making
toward a destination.
Distance
shows how far it is to the next waypoint you're navigating
toward.
Total Distance
tells how far to a final destination when navi-
gating a route or trail. If your route has multiple legs, this option will
total them for you.
Travel Time (ETE)
is the time it will take to reach your destination at
your present closing speed.
Arrival Time (ETA)
is the local time that
it will be when you arrive at the destination, based upon your present
closing speed and track.
Total Travel
time tells how long it will take to
reach a final destination when navigating a route or trail.
Track
is the heading, or the current direction you are actually travel-
ing.
Bearing
is the direction of a line-of-sight from your present posi-
tion to a destination. No matter what direction you are steering, the
Bearing shows the compass direction straight to the destination from
your location at the moment.
Off Course
tells you how far you are to
the left or right of the intended direction or line of travel toward a des-
tination. Most of the unit's displays show Off Course as "Cross Track."
The Position Page has its own menu, which is used for setting various
options. (Options and setup are discussed in Sec. 7.) To access the Posi-
tion Page Menu, from the Position Page, press

view. By default, this unit shows the plotter with north always at the top
of the screen. (This can be changed. See the topic
Plotter Orientation
, in
Sec. 7.) If you're navigating to a waypoint, the plotter also shows your
starting location, present position, course line and destination. You don't
have to navigate to a waypoint, however, to use the plotter.
Plotter Page is the default screen that appears when you turn on the
unit. To get to the Plotter Page from another page: Press
