The Map, Compass and Trip Computer Pages use these elements to direct your navigation efforts. 1. Press the PAGE key repeatedly until the Compass Page is displayed. This page contains a "Bearing Pointer" and a "Compass Ring". The Bearing Pointer indicates the direction to go and the Compass Ring rotates to indicate North orientation when you begin to move. Digital Data fields at the top of the page display selectable navigation information such as speed, distance to go, elapsed time, etc. 2. Press the QUIT key to move to the Map Page and observe your progress toward the waypoint. A Bearing line displays on the map and the Position Arrow moves as you move. 3. Press the QUIT key again to move to the Trip Computer Page. This page provides travel data such as a trip odometer, maximum speed, etc. 4. To stop navigation, press the MENU key with the Compass or Map Page displayed, then select "Stop Navigation" and press ENTER.

Observe the Satellite Page and the GPS status messages as they appear at the top of the page. · "Acquiring Satellites" message appears as the GPSmap 60CSx begins to search for satellites overhead. · Your "Location Coordinates" display when four or more satellites are fixed (enough to determine an approximate elevation as well as ground location). If the GPSMAP 60CSx can't get past the "Acquiring Satellites" message or you get a "Lost Satellite Signal" message, move to a new location away from objects that may be blocking signals.
