Map Auto Zoom

This unit has an auto zoom feature that eliminates much of the button

pushing common with other brands of GPS receivers. It works in con-

junction with the navigation features.
First, start navigation to a waypoint. (See the waypoint section for

more information on navigating to a waypoint.) Then, with the auto

zoom mode on, the unit zooms out until the entire course shows, from

the present position to the destination waypoint. As you travel toward

the destination, the unit automatically begins zooming in — one zoom

range at a time — always keeping the destination on the screen.

fill land areas with gray. You can also turn on or off Map Overlays,

which display latitude and longitude grid lines or range rings on the

map. This menu also lets you select Navionics Maps. For instructions,
