Zooming and Panning

There are three main functions you can perform from the map page— zooming,

panning, and pointing. The moving map has 12 map scales (from 0.2 to 320 miles,
or 0.5 to 600 km.) which are selected by selecting the IN and OUT zoom keys.
These ranges are measured vertically.

To use the zoom keys:

1. From the map page, press either IN or OUT (Fig. 62a).

2. To see the current map scale, press and hold either button down. A pop-up window will

display the current scale (Fig. 62b).

The second function on the map page is the pan function, which allows you to

move the map with the keypad in order to view areas outside the current map.

To activate the pan function:

1. Use the keypad to move the map in any direction, including diagonally.

As you begin to move the map, a crosshair will appear. This crosshair will now

serve as a target marker for the moving map. The distance and bearing to a destina-
tion will now be replaced by the distance and bearing from your present position to
the target crosshair.
