Introducing the nav log

Page 122
The 958's nav log helps you plan and log your trip. The nav
log provides three main functions:
•
to display your progress along your trip
•
to let you easily change the rest of your trip (add way-
points to a route, or reverse the entire trip)
•
to allow you to sequence to the next leg, if you've chosen
manual waypoint sequencing (see "Switching waypoints
manually or automatically" starting on page 169)
The nav log contains the series of waypoints that you follow
along your route, and displays them in sequential order. When
you navigate to these waypoints, or along an already stored
route, the series of waypoints is copied into the nav log, which
acts as a kind of "scratch pad" to monitor your progress. You
can change the nav log's route in any way you want without
affecting the original route, which remains safely stored in the
958.
To see the waypoints you're currently navigating along, press
the NAV LOG key at any time.
The NAV LOG screen shows the list of waypoints, the length
and bearing of each leg, and the direction of your next trip leg.
Press the CURSOR PAD to scan the waypoints in the list. To
display either a waypoint's description or its estimated time of
arrival (ETA), press the NAME/DESC or NAME/ETA menu key.
For waypoints you haven't passed yet, the times of arrival
