Garmin GPS III Plus - Manual (Page 44)

Another function on the Map Page is the pan function, which allows you to move
the map with the keypad in order to view areas beyond the current map.
To activate the pan function:
1. Use the rocker keypad to move the map in any direction, including diagonally.
As you begin to pan on the map, an arrow appears. This arrow will serve as a
target marker for the map. When the arrow is placed on an object, the name of that
object will be highlighted. (If the name wasn’t originally displayed it will appear when
the arrow is placed on the object.) This feature applies to waypoints, roads, lakes,
rivers—pretty much everything displayed except route lines and track log data.
When a waypoint name is highlighted, you can review information about the
waypoint, list waypoint options, or execute a GOTO right from the Map Page.
To select an on-screen waypoint with the panning arrow:
1. Use the rocker keypad to highlight the desired waypoint.
2. Press ENTER to review information for the selected waypoint.
3. To exit the information page, press QUIT.
To GOTO a highlighted waypoint:
1. With the waypoint highlighted, press GOTO, followed by ENTER.
The GOTO function can be used anywhere on the map. If a waypoint or highway
exit is not highlighted, a new waypoint (called ‘MAP’) will be created at the arrow
location before the GOTO is initiated.
To cancel the pan function and re-center the map on your position:
1. Press the QUIT key.
Use the rocker keypad to pan
away from your present posi-
tion. Place the arrow on a
waypoint and press ENTER to
see more information.
By placing the panning arrow
over an on-screen waypoint
and pressing GOTO, you
won’t have to manually select
your destination from the
GOTO Page.
