Now that we’re navigating to an actual destination, let’s move on to the next

page of the GPSMAP 130 system, the navigation page:

1. Press the

key.

The navigation page provides graphic steering guidance to your destination.

The bearing (BRG) and distance (DIS) to the destination, with your current

course (COG) and speed over ground (SOG), are displayed at the top of the

page, along with a graphic compass to indicate your cardinal heading. The esti-

mated time enroute (ETE) and velocity made good (VMG, or the rate you are

closing in on your destination) are displayed at the bottom of the page.

As you head toward the destination, the middle section of the page gives you

visual guidance to your waypoint on a graphic highway, which displays the

route and nearby waypoints on screen. The moving arrow below the highway

always points to the destination waypoint relative to the direction you’re moving.

The line down the center of the highway represents your desired track, while the

bottom of the page provides a graphic indication of your crosstrack error (the

distance and direction you are off course) according to the scale at the bottom

right of the page.

steer right.

B. In this example, our boat is off course to the right.

To get back on course, steer left. A digital readout
