Map Auto Zoom
This receiver has an auto zoom feature that eliminates much of the but-
ton pushing common with other brands of GPS receivers. It works in
conjunction with the navigation features.
Start navigation to a waypoint. (See the waypoint section for more in-
formation on navigating to a waypoint.) Then, with auto zoom on, the
unit will zoom out until the entire course shows, from the present posi-
tion to the destination waypoint. As you travel toward the destination,
the unit automatically zooms in — one zoom range at a time — always
keeping the destination on the screen.
