Quick Start

Goto a waypoint:

1. Press the GOTO key.

2. With ‘Waypoint’ highlighted, press the ENTER key.

Use the ROCKER key to select ‘MAP 1’ from the list, then press the ENTER key.

The GPS 72 is now navigating to the waypoint MAP 1.

For a GPS to navigate, it has to be moving. Fortunately you can simulate

movement in the GPS 72. Press the PAGE key until the Compass Page is

displayed. At the top of the Compass Page there are two data ﬁ elds, ‘Speed’

and ‘Bearing’. To simulate movement, press the ROCKER key up one time.

This will set a speed of 10 miles per hour. If you continue to press or hold the

ROCKER key, the speed will increase in 10 mph increments. For our purpose,

10 mph is ﬁ ne.

The Compass Page displays a Pointer and Compass Ring. The Pointer will

always point toward your destination (Bearing) while the Compass Ring reﬂ ects

the direction that you are facing or traveling (Track). In short, when you are

headed directly toward your destination, the Pointer will be pointed toward the

top of the display, and aligned with the vertical line on the Compass Ring. If you

are not heading toward your destination, turn until the Pointer is aligned with the

vertical line in the Compass Ring and pointed toward the top of the display.

The simulator will let you change the Track so that you can see what will

happen. Press the ROCKER key to the right until your Track has changed about

40°. This will simulate a direction change to the right. The Pointer should now

be pointed toward the left of the display indicating that you need to turn left to

head toward the waypoint. This is exactly what will happen during actual naviga-

tion as you move off course. Press the ROCKER key to the left until the Pointer is

realigned with the vertical line in the Compass Ring. You are now headed toward

the waypoint.
