Off-Road Navigation

Great for off-road enthusiasts, the 750NAV’S Off-Road Navigation option allowsmarking of favorite trails, hunting, and fishing spots. With this option the usercan route to points not on roads, set landmarks, create trails, and more.

Off-Road is a navigation mode separate from turn by turn navigation andprovides the user with the feel of being a separate product. Once Off-Roadmode is entered, the unit is functionally transformed into a product, which worksjust like Magellan’s famous hand held GPS receiver.

Features

Enter navigation points (waypoints) by marking a waypoint by the systemscurrent position, using the systems cursor, or by entering latitude and longitudecoordinates. The maximum number of waypoints the system is capable ofsaving into memory is 100.

Create routes by inserting waypoints into a route list. The 750NAV, guides theuser from point to point by visually connecting the waypoints with highlightedlines in the order of the route lists. The navigation system then providesdirectional instruction to the next waypoint in the route. Waypoint to waypointnavigation continues in this fashion progressively through the list of waypointsmaking up the route. Once the final waypoint in the list is navigated to, the youhave arrived voice prompt is heard followed by 3 double chimes. Also adestination screen will be displayed showing the waypoint name and theLat/Long coordinates of the waypoint. The maximum number of routes thesystems can save into memory is 10 with 25 waypoints max. for each route.

Reverse Route - Calculate a route from the last waypoint in the list to the firstwaypoint.

Next Waypoint - Navigate to the next waypoint in a route list, allows the user tostep through a route list or skip the next waypoint while driving a route.

The Inclinometer Sensor shows how aggressive the terrain is byshowing graphics with pitch and roll readings of the vehicles currentposition.
