Changing your trip. NORTHSTAR 958

Chapter 9 - Using the Nav Log

Introducing the nav log

The 958’s nav log helps you plan and log your trip. The nav log provides three main functions:

•

•

• to display your progress along your trip to let you easily change the rest of your trip (add waypoints to a route, or reverse the entire trip) to allow you to sequence to the next leg, if you’ve chosen manual waypoint sequencing (see ”Switching waypoints manually or automatically” starting on page 169)

The nav log contains the series of waypoints that you follow along your route, and displays them in sequential order. When you navigate to these waypoints, or along an already stored route, the series of waypoints is copied into the nav log, which acts as a kind of “scratch pad” to monitor your progress. You can change the nav log’s route in any way you want without affecting the original route, which remains safely stored in the

958.

To see the waypoints you’re currently navigating along, press the NAV LOG key at any time.

The NAV LOG screen shows the list of waypoints, the length and bearing of each leg, and the direction of your next trip leg.

Press the CURSOR PAD to scan the waypoints in the list. To display either a waypoint’s description or its estimated time of arrival (ETA), press the NAME/DESC or NAME/ETA menu key.

For waypoints you haven’t passed yet, the times of arrival
