Panning the Map
The panning arrow allows you to pan the map to show other map
areas. As you pan past the edge of the current map, the screen moves
to provide continuous map coverage.
To pan the map:
Press up, down, right, or left on the
ROCKER. The panning
arrow moves the map so you can view different parts of the
map.

As you move the arrow, the distance and bearing from your present
location to the arrow is shown in the data window, along with the
arrow’s location coordinates. When you zoom in pan mode, the
arrow stays centered on the screen. When the arrow is stationary,
fixed coordinates appear in the location field, and the distance and
bearing from your present location update as you move.
To re-center your location on-screen:
1. When you are finished panning the Map, press
QUIT.
2. The map automatically moves to show your present location,
and the unit returns to location mode.
The arrow can also be used to select on-screen map items, allowing
you to review a selected item directly from the map screen.
To view details about an on-screen point:
1. Use the
ROCKER to move the arrow to the waypoint or map
item you want. If there are several items grouped closely
together, zoom in closer for a better view.
When a waypoint or map item is selected, it is highlighted on
screen with the name and location shown at the top of the
screen, along with the distance and bearing from your current
location, as shown in the image to the left.
2. Press
ENTER to view more information about the point. The
information and on-screen buttons shown vary based on the
type of item selected. In some cases, additional information
tabs appear at the top of the Information Page or Waypoint
Page.
3. Use the
ROCKER to highlight the extra tabs and view the
information.
4. Select an on-screen button, and press
ENTER.
5. Press
