Map Auto Zoom
This receiver has an auto zoom feature that eliminates much of the but-
ton pushing common with other brands of GPS receivers. It works in
conjunction with the navigation features.
First, start navigation to a waypoint. Then, with the auto zoom mode
on, the unit zooms out until the entire course shows, from the present
position to the destination waypoint. As you travel toward the destina-
tion, the unit automatically begins zooming in — one zoom range at a
time — always keeping the destination on the screen.

which display latitude and longitude grid lines or range rings on the
