Garmin gpsmap 162 Manuale Utente

35

The GPSMAP 162 features two different navigation pages: Compass and Highway.  Whenever a 

NAV/MOB, Follow Track (TracBack) or Follow Route have been activated, the GPSMAP 162’s Compass 
Page will guide you to your destination with digital readouts and a graphic compass display, which 
includes a bearing pointer.  Use this page (instead of the Highway Page) when travelling at slower 
speeds, when making frequent directional changes, or where straight-line navigation is not possible due 
to obstructions or terrain.  The middle of the page features a rotating ‘compass ring’ that shows your 
course over ground (track) while you’re moving.  Your present course over ground is indicated at the 
top of the compass ring.  A bearing pointer, in the middle of the compass ring, indicates the direction 
of the destination (bearing) relative to the course over ground.  The compass ring and pointer arrow 
work independently to show—at a glance—the direction of your movement and the direction to your 
destination.  For instance, if the arrow points up, you are going directly to the waypoint. If the arrow 
points any direction other than up, turn toward the arrow until it points up, then continue in that 
direction. 

The GPSMAP 162’s Compass Page features a menu page that provides access to layout and data 

fi eld options.  The data window, located at the top of the page, provides a user-selectable layout of 
various types of useful data.  Each data fi eld may be confi gured to display any one of 23 data options. 
The data window layout may also be changed to display additional data fi elds and change the actual 
size of the data displayed.
