reset.
Bearing (BRG)—the compass direction from your current location to a

destination.
Course—the course between the active from and to waypoints.
Depth—the depth below the transducer. This field is active only if the

GPSMAP 3005C is connected to a Garmin Sounder Module or if NMEA depth is

available.
Distance (Dist)—the distance from the current location to a destination.
Dist to Destination—the distance from the current location to a Go To

destination or the final waypoint in a route.
Dist to Next—the distance from current location to a Go To destination or the

next waypoint in a route.
DOP (Dilution of Precision)—reflects the quality of the GPS signals and satellite

geometry.
Elevation—the altitude (height) above mean sea level (MSL).
ETA (Estimate Time of Arrival)—the time you estimate to reach your

destination waypoint, based on current speed and track.
ETA at Destination—the time you estimate to reach a Go To destination or the

final waypoint in a route.
ETA at Next—the estimated time to reach a Go To destination or the next

between second-by-second position readings.

route.
Speed—the current velocity at which you are traveling, relative to ground.
