Map Auto Zoom
The iFINDER HUNTc has an auto zoom feature that eliminates much
of the button pushing typical of other brands of GPS receivers. It works
in conjunction with the navigation features.
First, start navigation to a waypoint. (See the waypoint section for
more information on navigating to a waypoint.) Then, with the auto
zoom mode on, the unit zooms out until the entire course shows, from
the present position to the destination waypoint. As you travel toward
the destination, the unit automatically begins zooming in — one zoom
range at a time — always keeping the destination on the screen.
To turn on this feature, from the M AP P AGE

↓ to
A UTO
Z OOM
| ENT . Repeat these steps to turn it off.
Map Data
This menu lets you turn off the map (which will turn the map screen
into a GPS plotter); turn off or on the pop-up map info boxes; draw the
map boundaries or boxes around the areas of detail and fill land areas
with gray. You can also turn on or off Map Overlays, which display lati-
tude and longitude grid lines or range rings on the map. This menu also
lets you select Navionics Maps. For more instructions, see the Navion-
ics Charts entry in this section.
