It is the speed you are making toward the waypoint. For more detailed instructions, see the Customize Page Displays entry in Sec. 8.)

Track is the heading or the current direction you are traveling. Bearing is the direction of a line-of-sight from your present position to the des- tination. No matter what direction you are steering, the Bearing win- dow shows the compass direction straight to the destination from your location at the moment. Distance shows how far it is to the waypoint you are navigating toward.

The Off Course window shows the current cross track error. This shows the distance you are off-course to the side of the desired course line. The course line is an imaginary line drawn from your position when you started navigating to the destination waypoint. The course line is shown on the Navigation Page screen and the Map Page screen as a dotted line.

The cross track error range is shown on the compass rose as a wide, white, corridor enclosing the course line. The outer edges of this white corridor represent lines that show the current cross track error range. The default for the cross track error range is 0.20 miles.

For example, if the present position symbol touches the right cross track error line, then you are 0.20 miles to the right of the desired course. You need to steer left to return to the desired course. You can use the ZIN or ZOUT keys to change the cross track error range.

A circular symbol depicting your destination (waypoint) appears on the screen when approach the waypoint, as shown on the screen in the fol- lowing figure.

Travel Time is the time that it will take to reach your destination at your present closing speed. You can also customize the time window to show Arrival Time instead. Arrival Time is the local time it will be when you arrive at the destination, based upon your present closing speed and track.
