Panning the Map

You can pan the map with the map pointer   to view areas of the 

map that are not visible on the screen. As you pan past the edge of 

the screen, the map moves to provide continuous map coverage. 

The position icon   indicates your present location and may not 

be visible on the screen when you pan the map. 

To pan the map: 

  Press up, down, right, or left on the 

Rocker

 pad. 

  The map pointer moves the map so you can view different 

parts of the map.

As you move the pointer, the distance and bearing from your 

present location to the pointer appear in the distance bar. The map 

pointer’s location coordinates also appear in the bar.  When you 

zoom while panning the map, the map pointer stays centered on the 

screen.
