Map Page opening screen (left). Set to 100-mile zoom (center) and 10-

mile zoom (right). Over Zoomed means you have reached the detail

limits in an area covered only by the basic background map. Zooming

in closer will reveal no more map detail because a high-detail custom

map has not been loaded on the MMC for this area.

If you're using only the factory-loaded background map, the maximum
zoom range for showing additional map detail is 20 miles. You can con-

tinue to zoom in closer, but the map will simply be enlarged without

revealing more map content (except for a few major city streets.) Load

your own high-detail custom map made with MapCreate (or a pre-made

FreedomMap from LEI), and you can zoom in to 0.02 miles with mas-

sive amounts of accurate map detail.

Map Pages with high-detail MapCreate map of an urban area loaded on

the MMC. Arterial streets appear at the 4-mile zoom range (left) with a

few Point of Interest icons visible. Numerous dots representing Points of

Interest are visible at the 2-mile range (center) along with minor streets.

At a 0.4-mile zoom (right), you can see an interstate highway with an

exit, major and minor streets as well as Point of Interest icons.
