OUT — The Zoom OUT Key is used to increase the map scale. When you increase the map scale, you will view a larger area on the map with less detail. Getting Started Interface Keys NAV / MOB — The NAV Key is used to begin or stop navigation.
This exercise will provide you with the knowledge and skill to navigate the pages and menus of your GPS 76 with confidence. As we progress through this Owner’s Manual you will often be directed to press a specified Interface Key or highlight a field. When you are directed to press a Key, you should press, then release the Key. If the Key needs to be held down for a period of time, the instruction will tell you. The position of the highlight is controlled by the ROCKER Key.
While learning the basic operation of the GPS 76, let’s put the unit into Simulator Mode. The Simulator Mode is great for practicing with the unit while inside and satellite signals are not available. When the GPS 76 is in Simulator Mode, the GPS receiver is turned off (this will help conserve battery power) and the unit cannot be used for actual navigation. Getting Started Using the Built-in Simulator I NOTE: Do not try to navigate using the Simulator Mode.
The Interface Keys are your link with the GPS 76. Let’s take a few minutes and see what some of the Interface Keys are used for. With the GPS Information Page displayed, press the PAGE Key several times. Notice that each time you press the PAGE Key the next main page will be displayed. Do the same with the QUIT Key. Notice the QUIT Key acts the same as the PAGE Key except the pages are displayed in a reverse sequence. Press the PAGE Key until the Map Page is displayed.
There will be many times that you may need to enter data. An example is naming a waypoint. The ROCKER Key is used to navigate through menu items and to enter data. Getting Started Let’s combine a couple of lessons. We will create a new waypoint, enter a waypoint name, and assign a symbol to the waypoint. Entering Data Symbol Field The term ‘Waypoint’ may be new to you. You will find the term Waypoint is used frequently when talking about navigation. A Waypoint is a position stored in the unit’s memory.
Changing the name: 1. Press the ROCKER Key right to highlight the Name Field then press the ENTER Key. Getting Started The Name Field will become active and the first zero will be highlighted. Notice that there are now ten placeholders for alpha-numeric characters displayed. 1. Press the ROCKER Key to the left to clear the field. Entering Data 2. Press the ROCKER Key up, scroll through the alpha-numeric list until the letter ‘C’ is selected. 3. Press the ROCKER Key right to move to the next placeholder.
