Using the Map Page
The Map Page is the primary navigation feature of the GPSmap 76CS.
The Map Page displays a detailed map of the area surrounding your cur-
rent location. It allows you to pan the map with the ROCKER key as well
as view your progress when navigating. When in the “Track Up” mode
(oriented in the direction of travel), a north reference arrow appears at the
top left corner to orient the map. When in the “North Up” mode the map
is oriented like a paper map. When you activate the Track Log feature,
your path of movement is indicated by a dotted line. The map display can
be changed to “Night” mode for easier viewing in dim light. The factory
set default automatically changes the display at sunrise and sunset.
The map also displays geographic details such as rivers, lakes, high-
ways and towns. The maps to the left show a higher level of detail than
the basemap provided with the unit (i.e. residential streets, parks, etc.)
