Categories Drawn

The Categories Drawn command lets you choose how much of the map- ping detail available in our database you want shown on the screen. This information includes contacts, Points of Interest, cities, highways, etc.

If you draw too much detail, your screen can feel cluttered. If you don't draw enough, you're not getting the most value out of your mapping GPS. You can use the Categories Drawn command to selectively turn on or off any of these items, customizing the map to your needs.

From the Map Menu, choose CATEGORIES DRAWN and a screen like the one in the following image will appear.

Use the Categories Drawn command to customize your map detail.

The Map Categories Drawn Menu is divided into two columns, "Cate- gory" and "Subcategory." You can turn any Category or Subcategory on or off. If you turn off a Category, none of its Subcategories will appear.

To turn an item on or off, press its entry in the list to highlight it. When it's highlighted, press it again to check it (turn it on) or uncheck it (turn it off). The Category list is longer than will fit on one page, so a scrollbar appears to the right of it. Press and drag the scrollbar's slider to move up or down the list.
