Introducing the COCKPIT Screen - it always displays your road ahead

When you enter your new destination address via Find & Go from the Main GPS Menu, your Logic Gear GPS will open in the Cockpit screen.

The Cockpit Screen view represent the road ahead as you see it through the windscreen.

You can also put in a new Destination directly from the Cockpit view - you don't have to back to Find & Go - but inputting a new address involves one more step - it is explained below. You can also add VIA points once you've set your final destination.

It presents the map as you see it when you are sitting in the driver's seat and looking out the front windscreen at the road ahead.

When you have satellite connection, that Blue Arrow is you at your current location.

(Of course, if you don't have satellite connection the screen will show a little flag flapping at your destination address - until you have satellite connection, your GPS can't work out exactly where it is so it can't tell you where to go).

When you are driving, the road is always in front of you no matter how many turns you make -  the map moves around your location and direction.  

So, unlike with the traditional printed Maps and Street Directories which are printed North-facing (ie with North always at the top of the page) you don't have to keep swivelling your GPS around to work out exactly where you are  - a street that you need to run left into always shows as on your left, not pointing down or off into a corner. It's very handy for some of us who don't have a north-facing map brain and end up with our old Street Directories sitting at all sorts of crazy angles.

Your next manouvre - turn left, turn right, etc shows in the circle in the top RH corner. You will note that at roundabouts, it show the exit number not a turn. 95% of the time, if it shows the second exit (and the voice tells you to take the second exit) it means 'go through the roundabout and continue straight ahead.

The distance to your next manouvre shows under the indicator circle.

Beneath the indicator circle shows the Settings you have set in your Display Options (Settings/Advanced Settings/Display Options)  eg Distance to Destination, Arrival Time, Speed etc
