5.7.6 Info Panels
In the Field 5
In both the Direction Dial screen and the Road screen, up to four textbased
Info panels can appear on the right of the screen. Info panels are
visible at all times. You do not have to switch to a text mode to see text
navigation information.
You can choose up to four Info panels for each navigation mode. Each
mode can use different panels from the other. Any panel can be left
blank by selecting the ‘None’ option.
Some Info panels can only show useful data when you have selected a
Target or are moving with sufficient velocity.
Table 5.1 shows the Info panels you can display in the Navigation
module.
Table 5.1 Info panels
Panel What it shows
Altitude Your current altitude. If you are using two-dimensional
GPS, the altitude shown is the value entered in the 2D
altitude field. The altitude reference used (HAE or MSL) is
also shown.
Bearing to Go The compass bearing (angle) that you need to follow in
order to take the shortest path between the current GPS
position and the Target. The bearing is displayed with a ‘T’
if it is relative to true north or an ‘M’ if it is relative to
magnetic north.
Cross-Track The direction and distance to the cross-track line, an
imaginary straight line linking the Start and Target by the
shortest route. The numeric value indicates how far, and
the arrow shows which direction (left or right), you need to
travel to get back on line.
ETA The Estimated Time of Arrival at the Target, based on
your current heading and velocity.
