Map Page Cursor

When the ARROW KEYPAD is pressed, the GPSMAP 168 Sounder will enter cursor mode. In

cursor mode:

• The cursor can be moved over the map display using the ARROW KEYPAD.

• When the cursor nears the edge of the display, the map will scroll forward under the cursor. Keep

in mind that the boat icon will move with the map scrolling and may go off the display screen (you
may not be able to see your present position).

• When the cursor is stationary, a ﬁ xed coordinate position will appear in the position ﬁ eld. Note that

the distance and bearing will change as the boat’s position changes.

• Whenever you zoom in cursor mode, the cursor will be centered on screen.

• To return to position mode, press the QUIT key.

When the cursor reaches the edge of the map, the unit may pause as it loads new
map data.

Using the Cursor

The cursor allows you to pan away from your present position and scroll to other map areas around

the world (even outside of your current MapSource coverage). As you pan past the edge of the current
map display, the screen will actively scroll forward to provide continuous map coverage.

To move the cursor:

1. Press the ARROW KEYPAD to move the cursor in an up, down, left or right direction.

As you move the cursor, the distance and bearing from your present position to the cursor will be

displayed on the data window, along with the cursor’s position coordinates. Keep in mind that when
the cursor is stationary, the distance and bearing from your present position will change as your boat
moves. The cursor may also be used to “snap to” on-screen waypoints and map items, allowing you to
review a selected position directly from the map display.

Move the cursor over an item on the
map to highlight it.
