4.2 Screen 2: PLANNING
To access PLANNING screen
(GPS MAP → PLANNING, via joystick nudge)
The PLANNING screen is accessed from the GPS
MAP screen by moving the joystick away from your
current location (blue location icon).
The PLANNING screen displays a planning icon
(orange circle with a small black cross) as soon as
you move the joystick 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 orange
planning icon radiate crosshairs as an additional
visual cue that you are in PLANNING mode rather
than GPS MAP mode. The orange planning icon
stays in place as you use the joystick to move the
map.
The POSITION INFO screen may be accessed
from the PLANNING screen by centre pressing the
joystick, 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 joystick brings up further
information via the 'Choose Information Type'
window.
