Garmin GPS 38 - Manual (Page 20)

Clearing A Cluttered Map
After you’ve used the GPS38 for a few trips, you may
find that your map display has become a bit messy from
keeping track of your every move. To get a feel for how the
Menu Page works, let’s clear the track log (the plot points
left on the Map Page) we’ve just created during the Getting
Started Tour.
1. Press P or Q until the Menu Page appears.
2. Use the
D
key to move the field highlight to the
‘TRACKLOG’ option.
3. Press E to access the track log page.
4. Press the
U
key twice to highlight the ‘CLEARLOG?’
option. The clear log confirmation page will appear.
5. Use the
L
key to highlight the ‘Yes?’ prompt.
6. Press E to finish.
Turning the Receiver Off
You’ve now gone through the basic operation of your
new GPS and probably know a little more than you think
about how it works. We encourage you to experiment with
the GPS 38 until it becomes an extension of your own navi-
gation skills. If you encounter any problems using the unit
or want to take advantage of the GPS 38’s more advanced
features, refer to the reference section.
To turn the GPS 38 off:
1. Press and hold the B key for 3 seconds.
Thank you for choosing the GPS 38. We hope it will be
a valuable tool for you wherever you travel.
