to the destination. No matter what direction you are steering, the Bearing window shows the compass direction straight to the destina- tion from your location at the moment. Distance shows how far it is to the waypoint you're navigating toward.
The Off Course window shows the current cross track error. This shows the distance you are
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 .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 as you approach the waypoint, as shown on the screen in the following 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.)
In the following example figure, the driver is headed west (a 266º track) toward a waypoint 264º (bearing) away. The cross track error range (white corridor) is 0.20 miles either side of the course. The driver is headed toward trail waypoint 4, which is 147 feet away. The vehicle is virtually on course (off course 5 feet to the right). Traveling at a speed of 5 mph, the driver will arrive at the waypoint in 20 seconds.
