view. By default, this unit shows the map with north always at the top
of the screen. This can be changed. See the topic Map Orientation, in

Sec. 5. If you are navigating to a waypoint, the map also shows your

starting location, present position, course line and destination. You

don't have to navigate to a waypoint, however, to use the map.

. When the Map Page is displayed, a screen similar to the fol-

lowing figures appears.
The arrow in the center of the screen is your present position. It points

in the direction you are traveling. The solid line extending from the

back of the arrow is your plot trail, or path you've taken.
The map zoom range is the distance across the screen. This number

shows in the lower right corner of the screen. In the first of the follow-

ing example figures, the range is 4,000 miles from the left edge of the

map to the right edge of the map.
The Zoom In and Zoom Out keys zoom the map to enlarge or reduce its

coverage area and the amount of mapping detail shown. There are 39

available map zoom ranges, from 0.02 miles to 4,000 miles.

Far left, Map Page opening screen. Center, zoomed to 100 miles and

right, zoomed to 10 miles. Over Zoomed means you have reached the

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

Zooming in any closer will reveal no more map details because a high-

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