Plotter Mode

Plotter Mode setting can be turned ON and OFF under the
Chart Settings option within Map Configuration.
With Plotter Mode ON, the unit will allow you to zoom closer
than the lowest available scale in the cartridge and enter "Track
Plot Mode." If, on the other hand, the Plotter Mode setting is
turned OFF, you cannot zoom any closer than the lowest
available scale in the cartridge.

cartridge and Plotter Mode is OFF, as the cursor pans over
the map, you will notice that the plotter zooms out automati-
cally when you reach an area not covered by the detailed car-
tography on the C-card. This feature is designed to keep car-
tography displayed in the background even if you "run off
the edge." Panning into an area not covered by the C-card
