Map Data
This menu lets you turn the map off, if desired, which turns the map
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 detail; or fill
land areas with gray. 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 select Navionics Maps; for instructions, see the
Navionics Charts entry in this section.
