Garmin geko 301 Manuale Utente

10

The Navigation Page provides active guidance with a rotating compass ring that shows your 

course over ground (track) while you’re moving and a bearing pointer to indicate the current 
direction to your destination (bearing) relative to the course over ground. 

The Compass Ring works as an electronic compass.  When you are stationary, it works 

as a magnetic compass (which can be turned On or Off).  When the Compass is on and you 
are moving, the heading is controlled by the GPS receiver.  The Compass switches to the 
GPS receiver when your rate of travel reaches a user-defi ned speed, and comes back on when 
you have stopped moving after a user-defi ned period of time. Use the  Heading Setup Page to 
change the user-defi ned speed and time. (See page 40)

One Data Field is available at the bottom of the screen and you can use the UP and DOWN

Buttons to scroll through the menu choices.  A list of the fi elds can be found on page 13.

The Bent (Bearing) Pointer arrow alerts you to the upcoming turn while you are navigating 

a route.  When you get within 15 seconds of the current point, the pointer “bends” to indicate 
the direction of the turn to the next point.

The Geko 301 includes 
an Electronic Compass 
that is similar to a 
magnetic compass.  
It points your heading
while standing still.

NOTE: The direction arrow, desti-
nation symbol, bearing informa-
tion, Time To Go, Arrival Time and 
Final Distance only display when 
you have started a Goto or a 
TracBack.
