Use the Up and Down keys and the ROCKER to select zoom ranges and move

the map pointer. Two basic map operating modes, Position mode and Pointer

mode, determine what cartography (map data) is shown on the Map Page.

Position mode pans the cartography to keep the current position marker within the

display area, whereas Pointer mode pans the cartography to keep the map pointer

within the display area.
The GPSMAP 2106/2110 starts in Position mode, with your location centered on

the map.
Press up, down, left, or right on the ROCKER to enter Pointer mode. In Pointer

mode:

• You can move the map pointer over the map display using the

ROCKER.

• When the map pointer reaches the edge of the display, the map scrolls

forward under the pointer. Keep in mind that the boat icon moves with the

map scrolling and may go off the screen (you might not be able to see your

current location).

• When the map pointer is stationary, a fixed coordinate location appears in

the position field. The distance and bearing change as the boat’s location

changes.

• When you change the range in Pointer mode, the map pointer is centered

on the screen.

• To return to Position mode, press QUIT.

NOTE: When the map pointer reaches the edge of the map, the unit may pause

as it loads new map data.

To select a map range:

Press the

Up key to zoom out or the Down key to zoom in.

NOTE: The scale value represents the distance from one end of the scale bar to

the other.
