Map Auto Zoom

This receiver has an auto zoom feature that eliminates much of the
button-pushing characteristic of other brands of GPS receivers. It
works in conjunction 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.

To turn this feature on, from the

Map Data

This menu lets you turn the map off, if desired (which turns the map
screen into a GPS plotter); turn on or off the pop-up map info boxes;
draw the map boundaries or boxes around the areas of high detail or fill
water areas with white. You can also turn on or off Map Overlays,
which display latitude and longitude grid lines or range. This menu lets
you select Navionics Maps. For instructions, see the Navionics Charts
entry in this section.
