Moving Map PageThe GPS II features a powerful real-time moving map (Fig. 60) that can do muchmore than just plot your course and route. The map page also provides you with atarget cursor that will let you pan ahead to nearby waypoints, determine the distanceand bearing to any map position, and mark new waypoints while you navigate. TheGPS II also features dedicated zoom keys for instant zooming. The map portion ofthe page displays your present position as a diamond icon, with your track and/orroute displayed as small points. Nearby waypoints are represented as squares, withthe waypoint name listed. You may select which features are shown through the mapsetup submenu page (see pages 65-66).The four corners of the map page are used to display various navigation data,including the bearing and distance to a destination waypoint and your current trackand speed over the ground. The two fields at the top corners of the map show yourbearing and distance to one of three selectable destinations: an active destinationwaypoint; a highlighted on-screen waypoint; or the panning target crosshair.
