Zooming, Panning, and Pointing
There are three main functions you can perform
from the Map Page: zooming, panning, and pointing.
Zooming is increasing or decreasing the display scale of
the map. Panning is using a target crosshair and the
arrow keypad to “slide” your view of the map in any
direction, including diagonally, to view the surrounding
area. “Pointing” is the act of highlighting a waypoint on
the map in order to find out more about the waypoint
and conduct a GOTO or highlighting a position on the
map to create a new waypoint and conduct a GOTO.
To select a zoom scale (even while panning):
1. Press
I
or
H
once for each level of increase or
decrease desired.
2. Press and hold down either key to increase or
decrease by more than one scale.
To activate the pan function:
1. Press the arrow keypad in any direction, including
diagonally.
As you begin to move the map, a crosshair will
appear. This crosshair will now serve as a target marker
for the moving map. The distance and bearing from
your present position to the target crosshair will appear
in the upper corners of the map. If you are conducting
a GOTO at the time you activate the panning function,
the crosshair bearing and distance will replace the bear-
ing and distance of the GOTO waypoint.
As you pan around the map, you’ll notice that the
target crosshair will point to on-screen waypoints and
highlight the waypoint name. Once a waypoint name is
highlighted, you can review its waypoint definition page
or execute a GOTO right from the Map Page.
To review the definition page for a waypoint high-
lighted on the map:
1. Press
F
. The waypoint definition page will appear.
Review and make any desired changes to the high-
lighted waypoint.
2. When finished, highlight the ‘DONE?’ field and press
F
.

To change the map scale,
press the IN or OUT key
once for each level desired.
An on-screen window will
display the current zoom
scale.
The crosshair will “snap” to
waypoints highlighted on
the map, which allows you
to quickly review or go to
the selected waypoint right
from the Map Page.
