Activating the Over Zoom Mode

When this mode is active, the OVERZOOM indication appears when the
selected zoom scale makes it impossible to display the chart with a good
definition.

If the Over zoom mode is not active, only the zoom scales allowed by the
loaded chart are available.

8-Over zoom

Select Yes (active) or No (inactive) and push Enter.

Note:

You must be very careful when the OVERZOOM indication is
displayed on the Plotter screen since the lack of definition for the
chart causes discrepancies with the reality.
