The Map Display

The map screens show your course and track from a “bird’s-eye” view.
By default, this unit shows the map with north always at the top of the
screen. (This can be changed. See the topic

Map Orientation

later in

this section.) If you’re navigating to a waypoint, the map shows your
starting location, present position, course line and destination. You
don’t have to navigate to a waypoint, however, to use the map.

NOTE:

When our text says, "navigating to a waypoint," we really mean
navigation to

any

selected item, whether it is a waypoint you made,

a map feature or an item (like a restaurant) from the POI database.
