Using the Highway Page

To stay on course, steer toward the violet bar (or arrows) until it lines up with the red bar in the middle. The bottom section of the screen provides visual guidance to the waypoint on a graphic highway. The line down the center of the highway represents your track line.

As you head toward your destination, the highway perspective moves to indicate your progress to the waypoint and which direction you should steer to stay on course. If you are navigating a route, the Highway Page shows each route waypoint in sequence connected by a black “road” with a white line down the middle, which is your track line. Nearby waypoints not in the active route can also be shown. You can zoom in or out to show a larger or smaller view of the highway.

To change the highway perspective scale:

Press IN to zoom in.

Press OUT to zoom out.
