Map Auto Zoom

This receiver has an auto zoom feature that eliminates much of the

button pushing that other brands of GPS receivers force you to make. 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 this feature on, from the

Map Data

This menu lets you turn the map off, if desired, which turns 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; or fill

water areas with white. You can also turn on or off Map Overlays,

which display latitude and longitude grid lines or range rings on the

map. This menu lets you select Navionics Maps; for instructions, see
the Navionics Charts entry in this section.
