4.2 Screen2:PLANNING
ToaccessPLANNINGscreen
(GPS MAP → PLANNING, via rocker pad nudge)
The PLANNINGscreen is accessed from theGPS
MAPscreen by moving the rocker pad away from
your current location (blue location icon).
The PLANNING screen displays a planningicon
(black square with a black cross) as soon as you
move the rocker pad away from your current loca-
tion. Instead of a blue dot, a small black cross is
shown in the centre. From the edges of the black
square planning icon radiate crosshairs as an ad-
ditional visual cue that you are in PLANNING mode
rather than GPSMAP mode. The black planning
icon stays in place as you use the rocker pad to
move the map.
The POSITION INFO screen may be accessed
from the PLANNING screen by centre pressing the
rocker pad, or by pressing the bottom right Primary
Screens button.
When a map is loaded, the PLANNING screen
shows a central default location for that particular
map.
There is a data box overlay which shows;
• Grid reference – format options are given in GPS
Settings/PositionDisplayFormat option).
• Altitude for this location – elevation above sea
level, obtained from base maps (UK) or from map
cards (non-UK).
• Distance from your last known location, i.e. where
you last acquired a GPS lock. This is useful as a
‘rangefinder’.
• Bearing from your last known location – format
options given in CompassSettings.
Note: This data overlay is not congurable by the user,
unlike the 2-Data Box and 4-Data Box layouts available
on the GPS MAP screen.
When the crosshairs are moved over an OOI
or a route, an OOI/route indicator icon
appears at the bottom of the screen. Centre
pressing the rocker pad brings up further
information via the 'ChooseInformationType'
window.
