This section discusses the major pages in Automotive Mode, such
as the Map Page, as well as some additional features, such as routes
and points.
Map Page
Refer to
section for more
details about the Map Page.
The location marker (icon) that shows your travel on the Map Page
is a triangle symbol in Marine and Automotive modes. The
GPSMAP 496 always turns on in location mode, with the last known
location centered on the map. When you press the roCKEr, the
GPSMAP 496 enters pan mode, which moves the map to keep the
white arrow (map pointer) within the screen area.
In Automotive Mode, by default, four user-selectable data fields
appear on the right side of the screen that can be configured to show
any one of the possible data options. The top of the screen shows the
GPS status or the route leg. You can also add additional data fields to
the page or select a full screen map without data fields.
