Auto Zoom - Garmin GPS 500 Pilot's Manual & Reference

Auto Zoom

An autozoom feature is available for the Default NAV page; this feature automatically adjusts from an
en-route scale of 200 nautical miles through each lower scale, stopping at 5.0 nautical miles as you
approach your destination waypoint. By default, the autozoom feature is disabled.
To enable (disable) the autozoom feature:
1. Starting with the Default NAV page, press the MENU key to display an options menu.
2. Rotate the large right knob to highlight "Enable Auto Zoom?" (or "Disable Auto Zoom?") and press ENT to
select this option.
