[. . . ] Use UP and DOWN to scroll through waypoints in alphabetical order starting with the waypoint last entered. GOTO NAV STARTED will be displayed, and Multi-Navigator will return to the TrueMagnetic compass function. Use UP and DOWN to select the appropriate letter. When desired waypoint is displayed press YES to confirm. 13 MAGNETIC VAR Setting Magnetic variation (declination) is the angle difference at your location between true geographic North and magnetic North (the direction all magnetic compasses point). It is important to note magnetic declination at your position, since magnetic declination varies and fluctuates slowly at different rates around the world. Most maps use geographic North as a reference and a magnetic compass points at magnetic North. It is therefore Figure 25 necessary to adjust the compass so the bearings correspond with the map. Figure 25 shows magnetic declination from a USGS topographic map. Available settings are MAN (manual) and AUTO (automatic). The Multi-Navigator has a built-in model to calculate the local magnetic declination automatically from the GPS position. If you are at all are unsure of the value of the magnetic variation we recommend you to select AUTO. If you select manual entry (MAN) you must enter the amount of declination in degrees and select either East or West. DEVIATE COMPASS Setting Press YES to auto deviate (calibrate) the TrueMagnetic Compass. It is recommended that the compass be calibrated after battery installation to obtain accuracies to +/- 2 degrees. CANCEL GOTO or DELETE *HOME* Setting This function is available only when a GOTO waypoint or a *HOME* position has been stored and no route is active. Press YES to delete *HOME* or cancel GOTO. *HOME* cannot be recovered once it has been deleted. CANCEL ROUTE Setting This function is available only when a route has been stored and activated. Reactivate the route or select a new route in the Route menu, section 8. 2. GOTO LEG Setting This function is available only when a route has been stored and activated, section 8. 2. In this function it is possible to manually select a leg to travel towards. The display will show the leg closest to your current position. [. . . ] XTE (Cross Track Error) ­ The distance you have deviated from the original straight line of travel when navigating to a waypoint. TTG (Time To Go) ­ The calculated time it will take you to reach the waypoint you are navigating towards based on your current rate of travel. BEARING ­ The direction to a selected waypoint from your current acquired position. COURSE ­ The direction you are travelling. DISCLAIMER Common sense must be used at all times when navigating with any GPS receiver. [. . . ]
