Map Auto Zoom

This receiver has an auto zoom feature that eliminates a lot of the but- ton pushing common with other brands of GPS receivers. It works in conjunction with the navigation features.

Start navigating to a waypoint. Then, with the auto zoom mode on, the unit zooms out until the entire course shows, from the present position to the destination waypoint. As you travel toward the destination, the unit automatically zooms in — one zoom range at a time — keeping your current position and the destination on the screen.

To turn this feature on from the MAP PAGE, press MENU↓ to AUTO ZOOMENTEXIT. Repeat these steps to turn it off.

Map Data

From the Map Data menu, you can turn off the map — which will turn the map into a GPS plotter — turn on or off pop-up map info boxes, draw map boundaries and fill water areas with white. You also can turn on or off Map Overlays, like range rings and latitude and longi- tude grid lines.

From the Map Page, you can access the Map Data menu by pressing MENU↓ to MAP DATAENT.
