Quick Start

The Interface keys are your link with the GPS 72.  Let’s take a few minutes to explore the 

use of each key while learning how to use the unit.

With the GPS Information Page displayed, press the 

PAGE

 key several times. Notice that 

each time you press the

 PAGE

 key, the next main page will be displayed.  Do the same with 

the 

QUIT

 key.  The 

QUIT

 key is similar to the 

PAGE

 key except the pages are displayed in a 

reverse sequence. Press the 

PAGE

 key until the Map Page is displayed.

 Each main page has an Options Menu.  This Option Menu contains setup options, and/

or functions that apply to that page. 

To display the Map Page Options Menu:

1.  Press the 

MENU

 key.

Selecting an item on the Options Menu:

1. Using the 

ROCKER

 key, highlight ‘Setup Map’.

2. Press 

ENTER

.

Many of the Option and Setup menus in the GPS 72 are arranged in a ‘Tab’ layout.  Use 

the Left /Right 

ROCKER

 key to move from Tab to Tab.  

The options for each page are covered in depth in the Reference Manual.   For now press 

the 

QUIT

 key.  When pressed, the 

QUIT

 key stops the current function and returns the unit 

to the last main page that was displayed.  This is good to know!  As you are learning how to 
use this unit, if you fi nd yourself confused, or start a function that you really don’t want, just 
press the 

QUIT

 key.
