Position Page

The GPSMAP 130 position page shows you where you are, what direction you

are heading and how fast you are going. The top of the page features a graphic

compass tape to indicate the direction you’re heading (while you’re moving), and

four user selectable data fields: course over ground (COG), speed over ground

(SOG), distance travelled (TRP) and altitude (ALT). The bottom half of the page

displays your present position’s coordinates, along with the time of day as calcu-

lated using GPS satellites. The status bar at the bottom of the page indicates posi-

tion fix status, and is described in detail on page 18.

The units of measure for speed, distance, position and altitude are all user-

selectable through the navigation setup option on the main menu page. The time

of day, shown in UTC (Universal Time Coordinated, or Greenwich Mean Time)

may be set to display in a 12- or 24-hour time format (with a local offset) through

the system setup option on the main menu page.

The trip odometer can be reset from the position page

options window. To reset the odometer, select the

‘Reset Trip Distance?’ option and press EDIT/ENTER.
