Past, Present, and Future

• The primary purpose of any GPSr is to locate your present position with some acceptable degree of accuracy.
• Recording this information over a period of time, the GPSr can store, calculate and display useful information regarding your past journey.
• Locating and determining the optimum path between your current location and a selected destination can be accomplished more efficiently with access to relevant cartographic information.
• More versatile than a traditional paper version, the Map application can help you plot your future, and never needs re-folding!
