Garmin GPS 12XL - Manual (Page 39)

Map Page
The Map Page shows your position and surround-
ings, and provides you with a target cursor that lets
you pan ahead to nearby waypoints, determine the dis-
tance and bearing to a map position, and mark new
waypoints while you navigate. The Map Page is broken
down into two sections: control fields and map section.
The zoom function, panning control, and configu-
ration fields are located at the top of the screen. The
zoom function uses 18 selectable zoom ranges from 0.2
to 500 miles, or 0.3 to 800 km. (Using the zoom, pan-
ning, and configure fields will be addressed in the next
section.)
The map portion of the page displays your present
position as a diamond icon, with your track and/or
route displayed as a solid line. Nearby waypoints are
represented using symbols, with the waypoint name
also listed. You may select which of these features are
shown through the map options pages (see pgs. 37-39
for more information).
The four corners of the Map Page are used to dis-
play various navigation data: the bearing and distance
to a destination waypoint and your current track and
speed over the ground. The two fields at the top cor-
ners of the map show your bearing and distance to one
of three selectable destinations: an active destination
waypoint, a highlighted on-screen waypoint, or the
panning target crosshair. If you are not navigating to a
waypoint or using the panning function, the top data
fields will not be displayed. Your current track and
speed are shown at the bottom corners of the display.

Note: The map scale rep-
resents the distance from
the top to the bottom of
the Map Page. For exam-
ple, when viewing the 10
mile scale, the distance
represented between the
top of the screen and bot-
tom is 10 miles.
