2-2 Cursor on Alpha Numeric Field Numeric Field Confirmation Field Cursor on Cyclic Field The area of the page with light characters and dark background is called the cursor. The cursor may be moved to locations on the page called fields. A field is a group of characters treated as a single unit of information which allow you to enter data. You wil[...]

Pressing the MSG key allows you to view messages. (See Section 2.3 and Chapter 13 for more details.) Pressing the GOTO key allows you to activate the GOTO function, which will set an instantaneous course to any waypoint. (See Chapter 6 for more details.) Pressing the AUTOSTO key allows you to capture your present position on an instantaneous basis.[...]

Pressing the CLR key erases information in the cursor field. If the cursor is over a cyclic field, pressing the CLR key will toggle through several available options. If the cursor is over a confirmation field, pressing the CLR key indicates rejection. Pressing the ENT key completes the process of data entry. If the cursor is over a confirmation fi[...]

If the GPS 100 is not navigating to a waypoint (i.e., there is no “active to” waypoint), the CDI area will indicate this condition as illustrated below. The cyclic fields, indicated by the “>” character, can be used to select the type of information you wish to see. To use a cyclic field, place the cursor to the right of the “>” a[...]

You may select one of four distance options: · RNG - Range. RNG is the distance from your position to the “active to” waypoint. · ATD - Along track distance. ATD is the along track distance to the “active to” waypoint. It is measured from the point on the course closest to your position. · DMG - Distance made good. DMG is the along track[...]

5-5 You may display one of two time options or track: · ETE - Estimated time enroute. ETE is the time it will take to reach the “active to” waypoint based on your speed. · ETA - Estimated time of arrival. ETA is the time at which you will arrive at the “active to” waypoint based on your speed. · TRK - Track. TRK is the direction of movem[...]

EPE and DOP are advisory information only and are not to be used as absolute measures of accuracy. In place of the speed and track information on line 3, you may want to calculate the range and bearing from a reference to your present position. (This information will give you a better understanding of where you are relative to a known location.) To[...]

CHAPTER 12 ADVANCED FEATURES 12.1 BUILDING ROUTES USING AutoStore TM GARMIN’s AutoStore TM feature, introduced in Chapter 8, allows you to capture your position and store it in a route of your choice at the touch of a button. By doing so, you are building a route consisting of waypoints stored along the path you travel. Suppose you are heading ou[...]

When you are ready to return, activate the route you created in reverse order (use “INV?” instead of “ACT?” when activating the route). The GPS 100 will automatically guide you back to your destination by passing over the waypoints you created!
