The GPS 500's display is divided into three separate "windows" (or

screen areas). The left 1/4 of the display provides three user-defined

data field windows. The right 3/4 of the display consists of a GPS

window, which is where you'll find the various navigation, waypoint

information and settings "pages". The bottom of the display is used

for annunciators.

Each unique screen of information is referred to as a "page". Pages

are typically selected using the small and large right knobs—with

the cursor removed from the GPS window. See the following page for

details on arrangement of the GPS 500's main pages.

Data Entry

Data is entered in the GPS window

using the small and large right knobs.

The large right knob is used to move the

cursor about the page. The small right

knob is used to select individual charac-

ters for the highlighted cursor location.

For example, to change the "S" in the

illustration at right to a different character,

rotate the small right knob.
