Navigation Page
This screen has a compass rose that not only shows your direction of
travel, but also the direction to a recalled waypoint. It also has a
Navigation with Sonar option that will display two windows, one with a
sonar chart, the other with the compass rose. To get to the Navigation

The Navigation Page.

NOTE:

Remember, when information displays are flashing, satellite lock
has not been achieved and no position fix has been determined. A
question mark will also 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 that you're making toward the waypoint. For instructions,
see the Customize Page Displays entry in Sec. 8.)

Track is the heading, or the current direction you are actually
traveling. Bearing is the direction of a 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 at the moment. Distance shows how far
it is to the waypoint you're navigating toward.
