The panning arrow allows you to pan the map to show other map areas. As you pan past the edge of the current map, the screen moves to provide continuous map coverage.

To pan the map:

Press up, down, right, or left on the ROCKER. The panning arrow moves the map so you can view different parts of the map.

Panning the Map

As you move the arrow, the distance and bearing from your present location to the arrow is shown in the data window, along with the arrow’s location coordinates. When you zoom in pan mode, the arrow stays centered on the screen. When the arrow is stationary, fixed coordinates appear in the location field, and the distance and bearing from your present location update as you move.

To re-center your location on-screen:

When you are finished panning the map, press QUIT. The map automatically moves to show your present location, and the unit returns to location mode.

The arrow can also be used to select on-screen map items, allowing you to review a selected item directly from the map screen.

To view details about an on-screen point:

1.Use the ROCKER to move the arrow to the waypoint or map item you want. If there are several items grouped closely together, zoom in closer for a better view.

When a waypoint or map item is selected, it is highlighted on screen with the name and location shown at the top of the screen, along with the distance and bearing from your current location, as shown in the image to the left.
