Using the GPSMAP 3005C
This section explains how to enter and select information with the
GPSMAP 3005C.
Understanding the Features
The advanced keypad system on the GPSMAP 3005C is designed to allow you to
select options and enter data quickly and conveniently. As you progress through
this owner’s manual, you are directed to press a specic key or highlight a eld
on the screen. When you are directed to press a key, you should press and quickly
release the key. If you need to hold down the key for a period of time to activate a
secondary function, the instructions tell you to do so. The location of the highlight
is controlled by the ROCKER. When a eld is selected on the screen, it is
highlighted in yellow.
The following terms are used throughout this manual:
• Highlight
—move the highlighted area on the screen up, down, left, or right
with the ROCKER to select individual elds. Moving the highlight to a
given location allows you to make a selection, begin data entry, or scroll
through a list.
• Field
—the location on a page where data or an option can be entered and
displayed. Highlight a eld using the ROCKER to begin entering data or
selecting options.
•
Soft keys—located along the bottom of the screen, soft keys are used as
shortcuts to select the most commonly used options for the selected page,
window, or tab. To select a soft key, press the key directly below it.
