Garmin GPS 48 - Manual (Page 26)

Zooming, Panning, and Configuring
There are three main functions you can perform
from the Map Page— zooming, panning, and configur-
ing (changing the map and track setup). Each of these
functions has its own “field”, which may be selected and
activated for use. Whenever the Map Page first appears,
the zoom field (at the top left) is always highlighted.
The map has 12 map scales which are selected through
the zoom function field.
To select a zoom scale:
1. Use the arrow keypad to highlight the zoom field.
2. Press the
E
key to begin range selection.
3. Select a range scale and press
E
.
The second function field on the Map Page is the
pan field, located at the top middle of the screen. The
pan function allows you to move the map with the four
arrow keys to view areas outside the current map.
To activate the pan function:
1. Highlight the pan field.
2. Press the
E
key to activate the pan function.
3. Use the arrow keys to move the map in any direction.
As you begin to move the map, a crosshair (plus
sign) will appear. This crosshair will now serve as a tar-
get marker for the moving map. The distance and bear-
ing to your destination will now be replaced by the dis-
tance and bearing from your present position to the tar-
get crosshair.
When you pan around the map, you’ll notice the
target crosshair will “snap” to on-screen waypoints or
navaids and highlight the waypoint name or navaid.
Once a waypoint name is highlighted, you can either
review its waypoint definition page or waypoint display
options, or execute a GOTO function right from the
Map Page.
To exit the pan function:
1. Press the
Q
key.
To review the waypoint definition page for a high-
lighted waypoint:
1. Press
E
while the waypoint is highlighted.
