automatically pans and redraws as you travel, always indicating your position on the
map when Center on GPS is activated.

together to automatically pan the map.
1. Click the Options button
on the toolbar (or click the menu
arrow and click Options) and then click the GPS Settings tab.
OR
Click the GPS tab to open it and click the Options button
.
2. Under When Tracking, clear the Recenter Map on GPS check box. If you
pan the map manually during GPS tracking, Center on GPS displays in the

receiver.
