The Map Page is one of five main pages used in the GPSMAP 182/232’s system. The five main pages are the Map Page, Compass Page, Numbers Page, Highway Page, and Active Route Page. All five pages are linked together in a simple chain, which allows you to scroll through the pages in either direction using the PAGE and QUIT keys.
Getting Started Using the Map Cursor Working from the Map Page is a simple process that centers around the use of the cursor. Controlled by the ARROW KEYPAD, the cursor is an important tool that can be used to pan to other map locations, mark and edit waypoints and routes, and review position data of on-screen map items and waypoints. Map Cursor To get a feel for using the Map Page and using the cursor, try the following exercise: 1. Use the IN/OUT keys to set the map scale to the 50 nm setting.
Getting Started To mark your present position: Marking Waypoints 1. Hold down the ENTER/MARK key until the ‘New Waypoint’ window appears then release the key. The window will show a default three-digit waypoint name/number (001), symbol (dot), and position. You can leave the name as the auto-assigned number, but for this exercise, lets change the name to ‘DOCK’. 2. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the waypoint name field (001) and press ENTER/MARK. You will see that just the first ‘0’ is now highlighted.
Getting Started Going to a Destination GPS is all about marking positions as waypoints and navigating to them using the receiver’s steering guidance and map displays. We’ve already seen how to use the ENTER/MARK key to store our present position, so it’s time to move on to the fun part—going to a destination. Using the NAV Key The NAV key, located on the keypad above the QUIT key, is the primary tool used to select a destination waypoint, TracBack, or a route to navigate.
Getting Started To activate the practice route stored in memory for navigation: 1. Press NAV. The option list page will appear. (If we were selecting a single waypoint to navigate to rather than a route, we could highlight the waypoint on the map, press NAV and then press ENTER/MARK.) Simulated Tour 2. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the ‘Follow Route’ option. Press ENTER/MARK to confirm. 3. The Select Route page will appear, with the ‘GPSMAP TOUR’ route highlighted. 4.
You’ll now have a clearer picture of the route you are navigating. Keep in mind that whenever you do exceed the usable range of the built-in database or the optional MapSource or BlueChart data in use, the range field will display ‘OVERZOOM’ to indicate that you should exercise extreme caution using the map data. Press the IN key to zoom into the 2 nm scale.
Getting Started Now that we’re navigating to an actual destination, let’s move on to the GPSMAP 182/232 navigation pages by pressing the PAGE key. Compass/Numbers Navigation Pages Current Destination Data Fields Compass Ring Pointer Arrow Compass Page The Compass Page provides graphic steering guidance to a destination waypoint, with an emphasis on the bearing to your destination and current direction of travel.
The GPSMAP 182/232’s Highway Page also provides graphic steering guidance to a destination waypoint, placing greater emphasis on the straight-line desired course and the distance and direction you are off course. As you head toward your destination, the middle of the screen provides visual guidance to your waypoint on a moving graphic “highway.” Your present position is at the bottom center of the highway display. The line down the middle of the highway represents your desired course.
The main pages’ data fields may also be configured to display several different information categories (see pages 22-23 for the complete list). On the Highway Page, let’s change the ‘TIME TO NEXT’ field to ‘TIME OF DAY’. To change a data field: Getting Started Active Route Page/ Main Menu Page You may choose from several different types of data. 1. Press the MENU key to display the Highway Page options. 2. Press DOWN on the ARROW KEYPAD, highlight ‘Change Numbers’ and press ENTER/MARK. 3.
