Eventide ARGUS 5000 - Navigation Data Display

Navigation Data Display ... The Upper and Lower Windows
In addition to the main graphics screen, the Argus has two "windows" used for the
display of data supplementary to the moving map itself. Some of the data is sent from
the GPS, and some of it is calculated or presented by the Argus.

THE UPPER DATA WINDOW
If you have been using a GPS for some time, you are familiar with its ability to present
you with basic navigational information. When you begin a trip, you select a
waypoint, either by picking it from the GPS database or by entering its coordinates
in the "user" database. Once you have done this, the GPS continually updates the
Bearing and Distance to this waypoint as the trip progresses. It will also display this
information, although it isn't necessarily always available since most GPS displays
only have a limited number of characters available. Whether or not displayed, the
GPS transmits this information to the Argus. Since the Argus has a CRT, we can
show this information all the time.
The two left-hand items are the bearing and distance to the destination waypoint
entered into the GPS. The two numbers are calculated by the GPS and displayed by
the Argus.
