Pointing at On-Screen Waypoints

The last field on the Map Page is the map itself. From

the zoom or pan fields, the cursor highlight may be moved
into the map display by pressing the down arrow key. The
arrow keys will now move the field highlight through the
map and “point” at on-screen waypoints.

To point at a displayed waypoint:

1. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor highlight from the

zoom field into the map field.

2. Once you are in the map field, use the four arrow keys to

scroll through on-screen waypoints. The arrow key you
use will determine the direction of your scroll. Once you
have scrolled through all the waypoints, the cursor will
move back to the zoom or pan function field.

Once a waypoint has been selected in the map field, its

distance and bearing from your present position will be dis-
played at the top corners of the Map Page. You can also
review its waypoint definition page or select it as a GOTO
destination by following the same steps outlined above for
waypoints highlighted on the map field.To get the most out
of panning, you’ll need to be able to zoom in and out while
you’re panning. This lets you move the map at a faster
speed and zoom in for waypoint details. Once the pan
function is activated, the cursor highlight moves back to
the zoom field.

To adjust the zoom range while panning:

1. Press the

E

key to begin range selection.

2. Select the desired range.

3. Press

E

to return to normal panning mode.

To stop panning, press the
QUIT key.

On-Screen Pointing

The crosshair will “snap” to
waypoints displayed on the
map, which allows you to
quickly review or go to the
selected waypoint right from
the Map Page.
