When you are traveling, the map will automatically move as you move.

This keeps your current location roughly centered on-screen. You can

manually pan or scroll the map north, south, east or west by using the

arrow keys, which launch the cross-hair map cursor. This allows you to

look at map places other than your current position. To clear the cur-

sor, press

EXIT

, which jumps the map back to your current position or

last known position.

Tip:

Use the cursor to determine the distance from your current position

(or last known position, when working indoors) to any map object or

location. Use the arrow keys to position the cursor over an object or

location. The distance, measured in a straight line, appears in the

popup data box. Press

EXIT

to clear the cursor.

The selected airport to the northwest is 4.2 miles away.

Selecting Any Map Item With the Cursor

1. Use the zoom keys and the arrow keys to move around the map and

find the item you wish to select.
2. Use the arrow keys and center the cursor cross-hair on the desired ob-

ject. On most items, a pop-up box will give the name of the selected item.

Tip:

This unit has a Cursor Undo feature that lets you instantly return

to the previous location you were looking at without scrolling. It

works like this: Use the cursor (arrow keys) to scroll the map to

some far away location or waypoint. Press

EXIT

to clear the cursor

and jump back to your current position on the map. When you want

to take another peek at that distant place, just press

EXIT

again.
