The map display has 28 available range scales from 20 ft. to 800 mi. (5 mt. to 1200 km). The map
scale is controlled by the
IN

available through the use of the optional BlueChart or MapSource data. The GPSMAP 176 will display
cartography as long as there is chart information available for the range you’ve selected.
