Getting Started w/ Navigation
As you travel the GPS position will remain almost stationary and the map will travel under it. The
location of the GPS icon is an option. As shown it keeps most of the screen ahead of you. You
can set it to be in the center of the screen if you wish. The two black dots just visible behind the
GPS icon are the end of an optional track log.
Another option is to have the screen oriented with the direction of travel toward the top as
shown here. That way all of the turn directions can be left and right. You could elect to always
have north or the direction you choose at the top. This can be useful if you are trying to match
the map display with a paper map.
WayPoint Software Command Bar
Across the bottom are the Tools menu selection
and several icons.
• The two at the left are for zooming in (one
fixed amount and one variable)
• The next two are for zooming out (fixed
amount and twice the fixed amount).
• It is better to use the thumb wheel when traveling in a car to do the zooming.
• A map rotation button is next. Tapping it brings up a compass rose which can be used
to rotate the map just by tapping the location you want to be at the top.
• The next two icons are the plus and minus and are used to control the amount of detail
present in the map. They can be tapped at any time to reduce clutter (-) or show more
detail (+).
• A signpost is next for finding locations and quick selection of your favorite places.
• The last icon permits full screen maps or maps with a pane at the bottom with
additional data on it.
The Navigation Pane
The Navigation pane in the WayPoint
tm
software can be turned on or off with the nav pane
icon. It contains important data for the user.
