Selecting a Navigation Page

Once you’ve selected a GOTO destination or acti-

vated a TracBack, MOB, or route; the GPS 12XL will

provide graphic steering guidance to the destination

with one of two navigation pages:

•The Compass Page (default) provides a direc-

tional pointer indicating the bearing to your desti-

nation and a rotating compass ring which shows

your direction of travel (track) at the top of the

ring. The Compass Page provides better guidance

for car travel, hiking, or biking; where straight-

line navigation is often not possible.

•The Highway Page provides a graphic highway

display that shows your movement relative to the

desired course, with an emphasis on your cross

track error ( the distance and direction you are off

course). The cross track error (XTK) is depicted

on a course deviation indicator (CDI) (see pg. 34).

The Highway Page is well-suited for boating or

some types of off-road recreation where straight

line navigation is typically possible and maintain-

ing a specified course is desirable.

Both pages provide a digital display of the bearing

and distance to the destination, and your current speed

and track over the ground. You can switch to either

Navigation Page at any time.

To select either Navigation Page:

1. Press from the existing Navigation Page, and

again to change the page.

To switch the navigation

page to the Compass

Page, press ENTER twice.
