Primary Pages

Before we start the tour, let’s briefly look at the five

primary information pages used for the GPS 120XL.

Note: Switch between pages by pressing either the

keys.

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. Your track

and speed are indicated immediately below.

The graphic compass tape reflects your head-

ing only while you are moving.

The rest of the page shows your current position in

three dimensions: latitude, longitude and altitude. A

trip odometer and 12/24 hour clock are also provided.
