Viewing Cartography

Zooming: Press the Plus (+) key to Zoom In and the Minus (-) key to Zoom
Out to see the cartography at different magnification levels. The zoom level
is indicated on the left side of the display. If you zoom in beyond the available
chart data, the display will go into Overzoom mode whereby the last
available chart data is amplified to reflect the level selected. If you zoom in
so far that no cartography is available, a lat/long grid will be drawn instead.

Screen Snapshots and Recording Icons: When a waypoint is created while
Screen Snapshot and Recording is active, the waypoint will appear as a
snapshot icon or recording icon in chart views. See Views: Snapshot and
Recording View
for more information.

If the cursor is active, you will see information about the chart objects
