Primary Pages
Before we start the tour, let’s briefly look at the five
primary information pages used for the GPS 126/128.
To switch between pages press either the
Q
or
J
keys (see below).
Satellite Page
The
Satellite Page
shows satellite positions and
signal strength. Satellite positions are displayed using
two circles and a center point. The outer circle shows
satellites on level with the horizon; the inner circle is
45º above the horizon; and the center point represents
satellites directly overhead. Knowing satellite positions
will show you the direction of any blocked signals.
The bottom of the page contains a row of signal
strength bars corresponding to each satellite being used.
Position Page
The
Position Page
shows you where you are, what
direction you’re heading, and how fast you’re going.
The top of the page contains a compass tape which
is a graphic representation of your heading.
The graphic compass tape reflects your head-
ing only while you are moving.
Your track and speed are indicated immediately
below. Underneath are two user-selectable fields for a
variety of data. The current position is displayed in lati-
tude and longitude or a user selectable grid format. A
12/24 hour clock is also provided.
