If there is heavy construction along a selected route, you can then adjust your route and avoid any delays. If you re giving directions to someone and there is a particularly difficult section of road that is confusing, you have the capability to draw objects on a map to clarify any possible confusion. You can add text, objects, lines, polygrams, and circles to any map at any mag level. You can also change the size and color of the drawn objects you add to a map. Using these same drawn objects, you can measure distance or areas on the map.
Distance is measured in feet, miles, nautical miles, meters, and kilometers.
You can display a bread crumb trail to track your progress as you travel. Connect the receiver to the laptop, turn the receiver on, and, after getting the satellite data, setup the laptop to the appropriate settings and you can track your every move. When printing you have several options available. The directions option will print just the route number, direction of travel, for that road, estimated travel time, and distance. Selecting both will combine the two options.
