Navigation PageThe navigation page displays the bearing (BRG) anddistance (DST) to the destination at the top of the page,along with your present speed (SPD) and ground track(TRK). The GOTO destination (or “active to” waypoint inthe case of a route) is displayed on the middle of the page,above the course deviation indicator (CDI).The CDI consists of a course deviation scale acrossthe center of the page and a moving D-bar (course devi-ation bar). If you move off course, the D-bar will indicatehow far off course you are, based upon its placementalong the course deviation scale. To get back on courseand center the D-bar, simply steer toward the D-bar. TheCDI scale is adjustable for 0.25, 1.25 or 5.0 (nauticalmile/statute mile/kilometer). The default setting is 1.25,which represents the distance from the center of the CDIto full left or right limits. (See page 51 for more informa-tion on CDI scale settings.)A relative bearing pointer—which remains fixed atthe center of the CDI scale—points in the direction ofyour destination, relative to your current ground track.For instance, if the arrow points up you are headingdirectly to your destination. If the arrow points any otherdirection, turn toward the arrow until it “swings” aroundand points up. Then continue in that direction to reachyour destination.At the bottom of the page appears your estimatedtime enroute (ETE), cross track error (XTK) and currenttime (local or GMT, see page 52). The vertical navigation(VNAV) field is user-definable and may be used to guideyou through climbs or descents to a specified target alti-tude (see page 64).If the relative bearing point-er points any directionother than straight up, turntoward the arrow until itswings around and pointsup. Then continue in thatdirection to reach yourdestination.NavigationPageReference48EstimatedTime EnrouteBearing toWaypointGroundTrackRelative BearingPointerDistance toWaypointGroundSpeedCDI ScaleCrosstrack ErrorVNAV AltitudeFieldCurrent TimeIf the GPS 92 is not navi-gating to a destination way-point, the navigation pagewill only display your speedand track over ground.
