If you're using only the factory-loaded background map, the maximum
zoom range for showing additional map detail is 20 miles. You can con-
tinue to zoom in closer, but the map will simply be enlarged without

your own high-detail custom map made with MapCreate, and you can
zoom in to 0.05 miles with massive amounts of accurate map detail.

the MMC. Arterial streets appear at the 6-mile zoom range with a few

exit, major and minor streets as well as Point of Interest icons (right).
Background map vs. MapCreate map content
The background map includes: low-detail maps of the whole world, con-

The medium-detail U.S. maps contain: all incorporated cities, shaded

shorelines, depth contours and other underwater features.

need to load any of those high detail charts/maps into the unit. The
unit can also use Navionics charts, but they must be loaded via a
Navionics card.
MapCreate custom maps include massive amounts of information not
