Cursor—

 A highlighted area on the screen which can be moved UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT with the 

ROCKER KEYPAD

allows you to begin data entry or scroll through a list. 

Default—

 A system-selected format, built into the operating software of the unit’s memory, that will 

be followed unless the user chooses a different setting.  For example, the default setting for distance 
and speed units is Statute (miles/miles per hour/feet) but can be changed to Metric or Nautical.  Once 
a setting is changed, the new setting is retained until another change is made or the ‘Restore Original 
Settings’ menu option is selected.
