Highway Page
Whenever a ‘Go To’, ‘TracBack’ or ‘Route’ has been activated, the GPSMAP 176’s Highway Page
provides digital and graphic steering guidance to the destination. The right side of the Highway Page
features user-selectable data fi elds that display useful navigation information. A compass ribbon is
displayed at the top of the page to show your current heading along with a dark, vertical bar which
will indicate the bearing to your course. To stay on course, steer towards the dark, vertical indicator
(or arrows) until it lines up with the lighter gray bar in the middle. The bottom section of the screen
provides visual guidance to the waypoint on a graphic highway display. The line down the center of the
highway represents your desired track line.
