Garmin gpsmap 278 Manuale Utente

The advanced keypad system on the GPSMAP 278 is designed to 

allow you to select options and enter data quickly and conveniently. 

As you progress through this owner’s manual, you are directed to 

press a specific key or highlight a field on the screen. When you 

are directed to press a key, you should press and quickly release the 

key. If the key needs to be held down for a period of time to start a 

secondary function, the instructions tell you to do so. When a field is 

selected on the screen, it is highlighted in yellow. 
The following terms are used throughout this manual:

•  Highlight—move the highlighted area on the screen up, 

down, left, or right with the ROCKER to select individual 

fields. Moving the highlight to a given location allows you to 

make a selection, begin data entry, or scroll through a list. 

•  Field—the location on a page where data or an option can 

be shown and entered. Select (highlight) a field using the 

ROCKER to begin entering data or selecting options.

•  On-screen button—use the ROCKER to highlight a button, 

and press ENTER to select the button. 

•  Scroll bar—when viewing a list of items too long to show on 

the screen, a scroll bar appears along the right side of the list. 

To scroll through a list, press up or down on the ROCKER.

•  Default—the factory setting saved in the unit’s memory. You 

can change the settings, and you can also revert to the factory 

(default) settings when you select Restore Defaults.
