Zooming, Panning, And Pointing - Garmin GPS 120XL Owner's Manual

Zooming, Panning, and Pointing

There are three main functions you can perform
from the Map Page: zooming, panning, and pointing.
Zooming is increasing or decreasing the display scale of
the map. Panning is using a target crosshair and the
arrow keypad to "slide" the map window in any direc-
tion, including diagonally, to view the surrounding
area. Pointing is the act of highlighting a waypoint on
the map in order to find out more about the waypoint
and conduct a GOTO, or highlighting a position on the
map to create a new waypoint and conduct a GOTO.
To select a zoom scale (even while panning):
I
1. Press or
decrease desired.
2. Press and hold down either key to increase or
decrease by more than one scale.
To activate the pan function:
1. Press the arrow keypad in any direction, including
diagonally.
As you begin to move the map, a crosshair will
appear. This crosshair will now serve as a target marker
for the moving map. The distance and bearing from
your present position to the target crosshair will appear
in the upper corners of the map. If you are conducting
a GOTO at the time you activate the panning function,
the crosshair bearing and distance will replace the bear-
ing and distance of the GOTO waypoint.
As you pan around the map, you'll notice that the
target crosshair will point to on-screen waypoints and
highlight the waypoint name. Once a waypoint name is
highlighted, you can review its waypoint definition
page or execute a GOTO function right from the Map
Page.
To review the definition page for a waypoint
highlighted on the map:
F
1. Press . The waypoint definition page will appear.
Review and make any desired changes to the high-
lighted waypoint.

To change the map scale,
press the IN or OUT key
once for each level desired.
An on-screen window will
display the current zoom
scale.
The crosshair will "snap" to
waypoints highlighted on
the map, which allows you
to quickly review or GOTO
the selected waypoint right
from the Map Page.
