When the map is zoomed out far enough, most POIs appear as square
dots (left). As you zoom in closer, the symbols become readable icons.

In the 0.2-mile zoom example (right), the cursor has selected the Cupps

Café POI, which triggers a pop-up box with the POI name. This pop-up

box works on POIs at any zoom range.

Tip:

In some urban areas, businesses are so close to one another that
their POI icons crowd each other on the screen. You can reduce
screen clutter and make streets and other map features easier to
see by simply turning off the display of POIs you're not watching
for. (To see how, check the text on Map Detail Category Selection,
page 77. It shows how to use the Map Categories Drawn menu to
turn individual POI displays off and on.) Even though their display
is turned off, you can still search for POIs and their icons will pop-
up when your unit finds them for you.

The Map Page has its own menu, which is used for several functions
and for setting various options. To access the Map Page Menu, from the
Map Page, press

The Pages Menu also offers several map display options under the Map
Page category. To access them, press
