Using the Map Pointer

Working from the Map Page centers around the use of the pointer.

Controlled by the ROCKER, the pointer is used to pan to map

locations, mark and edit waypoints and routes, and review position

data of on-screen map items and waypoints. When you move the

pointer over a map item, a highlighted description of that item

appears.

To pan the map:

1. Use the

IN/OUT keys to select a map range.

2. Use the

ROCKER to move the pointer. A data field appears

at the top of the display showing the bearing and distance

from your boat to the pointer, along with the latitude/

longitude of the pointer.

3. Press

QUIT to re-center your boat on the map display.

The map display actively scrolls or pans, enabling you to explore

areas around the world and create waypoints and routes. Pressing

QUIT returns the map to your present location.

NOTE: When the pointer reaches the edge of the map, the unit

can pause as it loads new map data.
