Using the Map Pointer

Working from the Map Page centers around the use of the pointer.

Controlled by the ROCKER, the pointer is an important tool that

can be used to pan to other map locations, mark and edit waypoints

and routes, and review location data of on-screen map items and

waypoints.

To pan the map:

1. Use the

IN/OUT keys to select a map scale.

2. Use the

ROCKER to move the pointer. A data field appears

at the top of the display showing the bearing and distance

from your boat to the pointer, along with the latitude and

longitude of the pointer.

3. Press

QUIT to re-center your boat on the map.

The map display actively scrolls or pans, enabling you to explore

areas around the world and create waypoints and routes. Pressing

QUIT returns the map to your present location.

NOTE: When the pointer reaches the edge of the map, the unit

may pause as it loads new map data.
