Zooming and Panning
There are three main functions you can perform from
the Map Page— zooming, pointing and panning. Each of
these functions has its own “field”, which may be selected
and activated for use.Whenever the Map Page first appears,
the zoom field (at the top left) is always highlighted. The
moving map has 12 map scales which are selected through
the zoom function field.
To select a zoom scale:
1. Use the arrow keypad to highlight the zoom field.
2. Press the E key to begin range selection.
3. Select a range scale.
4. Press E to confirm your selection.
The second function field on the Map Page is the pan
field, located at the top right of the screen. The pan func-
tion allows you to move the map with the four arrow keys
to view areas outside the current map.
To activate the pan function:
1. From the zoom field, highlight the pan field.
2. Press the E key to activate the pan function.
3. Use the arrow keys to move the map in any direction.
As you begin to move the map, a crosshair will appear.
This crosshair will now serve as a target marker for the
moving map. The distance and bearing to destination will
now be replaced by the distance and bearing from your
present position to the target crosshair.
As you pan around the map, you’ll notice that the target
crosshair will “snap” to on-screen waypoints and highlight
the waypoint name. Once a waypoint name is highlighted,
you can review its waypoint definition page or execute a
GOTO function right from the Map Page.
To review the definition page for a waypoint high-
lighted in the map field:
1. Press E . To return to the map page, press E .
Selecting Map Scales
To change the map scale,
highlight the zoom field and
press ENTER. Use the Up
and DOWN keys to select
the scale.
Panning Function
During panning mode, an
o n - s c reen crosshair will
appear. Your present posi-
tion will remain as a dia-
mond icon, with the range
and bearing to the crosshair
displayed in the top corners
of the map.
