Info Fields

What are Info Fields?

Info Fields appear on the bottom half of your screen and provides you with vital information such as speed, coordinates, ETA, etc. Completely customizable from the Map Page, Compass Page, Trip Info Page (when in Tracking Mode), and the Routing Info Page (when in Routing Mode).

Below, the Trip Info Page is being used for an example (more examples to come later). From one of those three pages, hit the Menu Button, scroll to Info Fields and push Enter. There are currently 44 different Info Fields to choose from. Terms used to describe each Field are listed below alphabetically.

E

  • Elevation:Altimeter - The elevation based on the the barometric altimeter sensor. You will see a red exclamation point if the altimeter is calibrating (happens when Auto Calibrate Altimeter is enabled). If you see dashes, that means that you have the barometric altimeter sensor disabled. SeeCompass & Altimeter for details.
