Eagle Electronics 12 Navigating to a cursor location, Navigating to a Waypoint using the Map

Navigating to a cursor location

The AccuMap 12 lets you navigation to a location without storing it in the waypoint database by using the map and cursor. To do this, first switch to any map screen. Map number 1 shown at the top of the next page is used in this example.

TO LOCATION	THEN PRESS RIGHT	CURSOR LOCATION
	ARROW KEY

Now move the map cursor to the location that you want to navigate to. Next, press the MENU key. A new menu appears on the list: “Go To Cur- sor”. Press the right arrow key. The AccuMap 12 shows nav data to the cursor location.

Navigating to a Waypoint using the Map

The unique “birds-eye” view used by the mapping screen gives you an easy way to navigate to a waypoint. On the map screen shown at right, the diamond with a cross in it is your present position. The box with the “S” in it was your starting location when you recalled the waypoint. The dotted line is called a track line and is the shortest path from the starting location to the destination. The “D” is the destination, which can be a waypoint or cursor lo-

cation. If you follow the track line, you’ll reach the destination, covering the shortest distance in the least time.

CAUTION!

The AccuMap 12 does NOT take land features, altitudes, restricted or prohibited areas, or any other feature into account when it projects the track line on the screen. Therefore, you must use care when navigating on the track line and avoid any object that may be in your path to the destination.
