Use the RANGE Up and RANGE Down keys and the ROCKER to select zoom

ranges and move the map pointer. Two basic map operating modes, Position mode

and Pointer mode, determine what cartography (map data) is shown on the Map

Page. Position mode pans the cartography to keep the current position marker

within the display area, whereas Pointer mode pans the cartography to keep the

map pointer within the display area.
The GPSMAP 3005C starts in Position mode, with your location centered on the

map.
Press up, down, left, or right on the ROCKER to enter Pointer mode. In Pointer

mode:

• You can move the map pointer over the map display using the

ROCKER.

• When the map pointer reaches the edge of the display, the map scrolls

forward under the pointer. Keep in mind that the boat icon moves with the

map scrolling and may go off the screen (you might not be able to see your

current location).

• When the map pointer is stationary, a fixed coordinate location appears in

the position field. The distance and bearing change as the boat’s location

changes.

• When you change the range in Pointer mode, the map pointer is centered

on the screen.

• To return to Position mode, press QUIT.

NOTE: When the map pointer reaches the edge of the map, the unit may pause

as it loads new map data.

Using the Map Pointer

Controlled by the ROCKER, the map pointer is an important tool that can be

used to pan to other map locations, mark and edit waypoints and routes, and

review location data of on-screen map items and waypoints.
