Garmin 3600a Operating Guide

Menus on your handheld are easy to use and work the same way in all applications, although the menu commands in each 

application may be different. Menu commands for each application are described in Chapters 4 and 5. For information on Edit 

menu commands, see 

Most menu commands have an equivalent Graffiti

®

 2 command stroke, which is similar to keyboard shortcuts used to execute 

commands on computers. To use Graffiti 2 menu commands, menus must be closed.
To display a menu bar and choose a command, do one of the following: 

•  Open an application (such as the Date Book); then tap the Menu icon 

. Select the desired command from the menu. 

•  Tap the tab in the upper left corner of the screen. Then tap the desired command from the menu. 
•  In the text input area of your device’s screen, drag a diagonal line from the lower left to upper right to display the  

Command toolbar. The command bar displays for approximately 4 seconds.

  Tap an icon that represents the command you want, or enter the shortcut for the command in the text input area below the 

Command toolbar. For example, to choose Select All in the Edit menu, draw the Graffiti 2 command stroke in the text area to 

display the Command toolbar and then draw the letter S. Note that if you wait more than three seconds to draw the shortcut 

letter, you’ll have to redraw the Graffiti 2 command stroke to redisplay the Command toolbar.

Many of the dialog boxes that appear on your handheld contain a Tips icon   in the upper right corner. Tips anticipate questions 

you may have and provide shortcuts for using the dialog box or other useful information. 

1.  Tap the 

Tips icon  .

2.  When you are finished viewing the tip, tap 

Done.
