Map Overlays (Range Rings; Lat/Long Grid)

The map screen can be customized with four range rings and/or grids that divide the map into equal segments of latitude and longitude.

Range rings are handy for visually estimating distances on the map. The ring diameters are based on the current zoom range. At a 100-mile zoom, the screen will show two rings with your current position in the center. The large ring touching the left and right sides of the screen is 100 miles in diameter (same as the zoom range). The second smaller ring is 50 miles in diameter (always 1/2 the zoom range).

The distance from your current position to the smaller ring (the ring's radius) is 25 miles (always 1/4 the zoom range). With the map cursor, you can scroll over to see the third and fourth rings. In this example, the distance to the third ring is 75 miles and distance to the fourth ring is 100 miles from your current position.

To set range rings: From the Map Data menu, highlight RANGE RINGS and press ENT to turn them on (check) or turn them off (uncheck). After the option is set, press EXIT.

To set Lat/Long Grid: From the Map Data menu, highlight LAT/LON GRID LINES and press ENT to turn them on (check) or turn them off (un- check). After the option is set, press EXIT repeatedly to get back to the main page display.

Map Datum Selection

Maps and charts are based on a survey of an area covered by a map or chart. These surveys are called Datums. Maps created using different datums will show the same latitude/longitude in slightly different loca- tions.
