Begin walking holding the GPSMAP 76 in front of you with the top of the

two minutes in one direction and then make either a right or left turn. Continue
walking in this new direction for approximately another two minutes.
Let’s start the trip back. Remember that GPS provides you with direct, straight
line navigation. It is not always possible to navigate using the most direct route,
don’t worry, the GPSMAP 76 will continuously update your Track and Bearing,
always pointing out the shortest route to your destination.

The GPS provides a straight line, direct navigation course
to your destination. Since it is not always possible to
follow a straight line from start to fi nish, as you move,
the Pointer will always point toward your destination and
the Compass Ring will always show your current track.
