It has a Navigation with Sonar option that will display two windows, one with a sonar chart, the other with a compass rose. To get to the Navigation Page, press PAGES → or ← to NAVIGATIONEXIT.

NOTE

Remember, when information displays are flashing, satellite lock has not been achieved and no position fix has been determined. A question mark will flash on the present position arrow in the center of the compass rose.

Speed (ground speed) is the velocity you are making over the ground. (If you wish, you can customize the Speed window to display Closing Speed instead. Closing Speed is also known as velocity made good. It's the speed you're making toward the waypoint. For instructions, see the Customize Page Display entry in Sec. 8.)

Track is the heading — the current direction you are actually traveling. Bearing is the direction of the line-of-sight from your present position to the destination. No matter what direction you are steering, the Bearing window shows the compass direction straight to the destination from your location. Distance shows how far it is to the waypoint you're navigating toward.

The Off Course window diplays the current cross track error. It shows the distance you have strayed from the desired course line. The course line is an imaginary line drawn from your position when you started navigating
