Garmin GPS III Plus - Manual (Page 51)

The map settings are orga-
nized by a series of ‘file tabs’.
Use the rocker keypad to
select the desired tab, and to
select the desired setting(s).
Map Setup— allows you to configure the map display to your preferences,
including map detail, map orientation, automatic zoom, lat/lon grid, track and route
lines, exits and waypoint names. The map setup option uses a ‘file tab’ feature, making
it easier to organize the various settings and easier for you to use. The following table
lists the file tabs and the settings available under each tab:
Map Detail, Orientation, AutoZoom, Accuracy Circle
Source Built-in Base Map, MapSource Files
Line Track Log, Active Route Lines, Local Roads, Street Labels
Pnts All Waypoints and Text, Active Route Wpts, Exits
City Large/Medium/Small Cities and Small Towns Text
Geo Geo Points, Rivers/Lakes, Park Areas
Topo Major/Medium/Minor Contours, Land Cover
Other Marine Navaids, Railroads, Metro Areas, Lat/Lon Grid
NOTES: Large cities are those with approximate populations greater than 200,000. Medium cities
are those with approximate populations over 50,000 and small cities are greater than 5,000. Small
towns have approximate populations under 5,000 or an unknown population size.
The ‘Detail’ setting applies to any map feature set to “Auto”. Those features for which you have
specified a maximum scale, or turned “Off”, are unaffected by the detail setting.
To change a map setup feature:
1. Highlight ‘Map Setup’ and press ENTER.
2. To set the desired map detail, select the ‘Map’ tab (if not already selected). Scroll down
(using the rocker keypad) to highlight the ‘Detail’ field and press ENTER. Select the
desired detail level—More, Normal, Less, Least—and press ENTER.
