GPSMAP 180 Map Page
The GPSMAP 180s Map Page provides a comprehensive display of electronic
cartography, plotting and navigational data. The map display shows your boat on
a digital chart, complete with geographic names, navaids, depth contours and a
host of other chart features. It also plots your track and displays any routes and
waypoints you create. An on-screen cursor lets you pan and scroll to other map
areas, determine the distance and bearing to a position, and perform various route
and waypoint functions.
The data window, located at the top of the page, provides a user-selectable dis-
play of your current course and speed over ground, along with the bearing and
distance to a destination waypoint. Whenever the cursor is active, an additional
data window will appear below to indicate the position, range and bearing to the
cursor or a selected waypoint or navaid. Each data field may be configured to dis-
play any one of ten data options. The data window may also be changed to dis-
play additional data fields, a graphic compass tape, or a CDI scale. The status bar
at the bottom of the page displays the map scale currently in use.
