Understanding the Trip Computer Page
The Trip Computer Page provides a quick reference for the important data you want to display while
navigating a route in Automotive Mode. It indicates your current speed and many helpful statistics about
your trip, such as bearing, average speed, and moving time.
Reset the Trip Computer before beginning a trip. If you make frequent stops, leave the GPSMAP
276C powered on in order to receive satellites. This allows the unit to accurately measure elapsed time
during the trip.
Trip Computer Page Options Menu
The following options are available from the Trip Computer Page. Some options are only available if
you have changed the Page Layout from the default (shown to the right).
Setup Page Layout – allows you to choose the layout and number of data fi elds. You can change the
layout of the Trip Computer to the Position Data Page layout while still in Automotive Mode. This will
provide more detailed information of your trip. You can also then change the data fi elds on the Position
Data Page to be more useful while in Automotive Mode. For more information about the Position Data
Page layout, see the previous page.
Change Nearest Type – allows you to specify the type of item to be used as the nearest item: Automatic,
Intersection, City, or Waypoint.
Reset Trip – clears trip information, except the maximum speed and the odometer.
Reset Max Speed – clears the maximum speed.
