displayed area. The white arrow, or " map pointer," serves as a target marker and provides informa-
tion for a specifi c location or object if any is available. The black triangle, or " vehicle icon," shows
your current physical location on the Map page. While in panning mode, the data tabs on the right
of the screen are hidden.
In addition to zooming in to or out of the Map page, you can also defi ne a particular area to
enlarge on the Map page by drawing a "box" on the touchscreen, then lifting your fi nger from the
screen. Before you can do this, make certain the boxed magnifying glass icon is showing at the
bottom of the map tools bar, as shown in the diagram below. If the map tools bar displays a hand,
simply touch the hand and the boxed magnifying glass icon will appear.
Use your fi nger to draw
a box on the Map page.
The boxed-in area will be
zoomed in to show greater
detail.

North Up and Track Up
Map orientation icons appear at the top left side of the Map page. They
show how roads appear on your Map page. North Up shows your Map page
with North always at the top, as if you were reading a paper map. Thus, as
you are driving, the vehicle icon on your Map page will move to the left if you are going West, right
if you are going East, and so forth. With Track Up, your Map page shifts so that your direction
of travel always appears at the top of the Map page. Thus, if you are headed South, the Map page
will shift so that South appears at the top of the Map page. Change the orientation from North Up
