Map Auto Zoom

This receiver has an auto zoom feature that eliminates much of the

button pushing that other brands of GPS receivers force you to make. It

works in conjunction with the navigation features. First, start naviga-

tion 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 zoom-

ing in — one zoom range at a time — always keeping the destination on

the screen.

screen into a GPS plotter); turn off or on the pop-up map info boxes;

draw the map boundaries or boxes around the areas of high detail; or

show water on the map as white to contrast land.
You can also turn on or off Map Overlays, which display latitude and

longitude grid lines or range rings on the map. This menu lets you se-

lect NauticPath maps; for instructions, see the NauticPath entry in this

section.
