The Map Page

Zoom In

Using Map Page Features

Use the Zoom IN and OUT buttons to change the map scale. You can

show more map area with less detail or less map area with more detail.

Press and hold to Zoom the map scale rapidly.

The map scale in the lower left hand side of the display is shown in

units of measurement selected in the “Units” field of the Unit Setup Page.

If you zoom in so far that the resolution of the map data is exceeded and

the appearance of the map is no longer accurate, the word, “overzoom”

displays just below the map scale. When using MapSource detailed maps,

“mapsource” appears below the scale.

In many instances the map displays an “Accuracy Circle” surrounding

the “Position Icon.” The GPSmap 60 uses both map resolution and GPS

accuracy in defining your location to a point within the circle. The smaller

the circle, the more accurate your location.

When using the “Pan Map” feature, a small outline arrow (Panning

Arrow) can be moved about the page to highlight and identify map items

or to scroll the map to view areas not shown on the display screen. If

there is more than one map item under the Panning Arrow. A list of those

items displays with the item highlighted on the map and on the list.

Optional data fields can be added at the top of the display to provide a

variety of travel and navigational information, see pages that follow.

When navigating, Guidance Text will be displayed at the top of the map.
