See your Garmin dealer or visit the Garmin Web site (

www.garmin.com

) for

more information on available pre-programmed Garmin data cards and other

MapSource programs to increase the mapping capability of your new chartplotter.

NOTE: When networking with a Garmin GPSMAP 4000 or 5000 series unit,

map data is not shared.

Using the Map Pointer

Use the map pointer to pan away from your current location and scroll to other

map areas around the world (even outside of your current detail coverage). As

you pan past the edge of the map display, the screen scrolls forward to provide

continuous map coverage. The map pointer is an important tool that can be used

to pan to other map locations, mark and edit waypoints and routes, and review

location data of on-screen map items and waypoints.

To move the map pointer:

Press the

ROCKER to move the map pointer in an up, down, left, right, or

diagonal direction.

As you move the map pointer, the distance and bearing from your current

location to the map pointer are shown in the upper-left corner of the map, with

the map pointer’s location coordinates. Keep in mind that when the map pointer

is stationary, the distance and bearing from your present location changes as your

boat moves. The map pointer can also be used to snap to on-screen waypoints

and map items, allowing you to review a selected location directly from the map

display.

To select an on-screen waypoint or map item with the map pointer:

1. Use the

ROCKER to move the pointer to the waypoint or map item. When

a waypoint or map item is selected, it is highlighted on-screen with the

name and location shown.

2. Press

ENTER to show details of the map item. When using BlueChart or

MapSource data, or if waypoints are grouped tightly together due to the

Range setting, additional tabs appear on the Review Waypoint Page. Use

the

ROCKER to highlight the individual tabs to show the information and

additional options.
