Garmin GPS III Pilot - Manual (Page 44)

Another function on the Map Page is the pan function, which allows you to
move the map with the keypad in order to view areas beyond the current map.
To activate the pan function:
1. Use the rocker keypad to move the map in any direction, including diagonally.
As you begin to pan on the map, a pointer appears. This map pointer will serve
as a target marker for the map. When the pointer is placed on an object, the name
of that object will be highlighted. (If the name wasn’t originally displayed it will
appear when the pointer is placed on the object.) This feature applies to airports,
navaids, user-created waypoints, roads, lakes, rivers—pretty much everything dis-
played except route lines and track log data.
When a waypoint name is highlighted, you can review information about the
waypoint, list waypoint options, or execute a GOTO right from the Map Page.
To select an on-screen airport or navaid with the panning pointer:
1. Use the rocker keypad to highlight the desired item.
2. To view additional database information about the selected item, press ENTER/MARK.
3. To exit the information pages, press QUIT.
To GOTO a highlighted waypoint:
1. With the waypoint highlighted, press GOTO/NRST, followed by ENTER.
The GOTO function can be used anywhere on the map. If nothing currently
exists at the map pointer position, a new waypoint (called ‘MAP’) will be created at
the pointer’s location before the GOTO is initiated.
To cancel the pan function and re-center the map on your position:
1. Press the QUIT key.
Use the rocker keypad to pan
away from your present position.
Place the pointer over an airport
or navaid and press ENTER to
see more information.
By placing the panning pointer
over an on-screen waypoint
and pressing GOTO/ NRST,
you won’t have to manually
enter the identifier for the
waypoint.
