Using the Map Pointer

The pointer pans away from your present location (even outside

of your current detail coverage.) As you pan past the edge of the

current map display, the screen actively scrolls forward to provide

continuous map coverage. An hourglass symbol appears by the

pointer while the unit is busy drawing new map details.

Move the pointer

over an item

on the map to

highlight it.

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

present location to the pointer is displayed in the data window,

along with the pointer’s location coordinates. Keep in mind that

when the pointer is stationary, the distance and bearing from your

present position changes as your location moves. The pointer can

also be used to view on-screen waypoint and map item properties

directly from the map display.

Pressing

ENTER while

highlighting a map item

brings up additional

details and options.

Additional

Information Tabs

Additional Options

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

map pointer:

1. Use the

ROCKER to move the map pointer to a waypoint or

map item. (If there are several waypoints grouped closely

together, zoom in closer for a better view.)

2. When a waypoint or map item is selected, it is highlighted

on-screen, with the name and location displayed. Press

ENTER

to show details of the map item. When in the

BlueChart coverage area or using optional MapSource

data, additional information tabs appear. Use the

ROCKER

to highlight the individual tabs, and display additional

information and options.

3. Press

QUIT to re-center your location on-screen.
