Using Preferences for QueMap

Use Maps Preferences to:
• Reduce "Map Clutter" by controlling the detail of how
items are displayed.
• Set the maximum Zoom scale at which map items
display.
• Control the display of multiple map features.
• Determine Map orientation.
• Set the display mode for day or night viewing.
The factory (default) settings for these preferences allow you
to operate the QueMap application with confidence. As you
become more familiar with its operation, you may desire to
customize the application to fit your needs. Tap the Help button
for detailed definitions of the map preference options.
To view the QueMap Preferences:
1. From the QueMap application, tap Menu icon
2. Tap Preferences.
3. View and change the preferences as needed. To
open a different QueMap Preferences page, such as
the Navigation Preferences, tap the
"General," as shown to the left.
Each preference window is provided with a Help button to
explain preference settings in detail. These pages provide an
overview of the preferences available.
For more information about Heading, Course, and Bearing
lines, consult the Garmin website at www.garmin.com/
aboutGPS/.
Detailed map information preferences can be set to display
selected detailed maps stored in the unit or on a Secure Digital
(SD) or Multimedia Card (MMC). See the "Downloading Map
Data" section in this guide for more information on detailed
map procedures.
The Miscellaneous preference options provide check boxes to
allow you to turn on or off some features as you prefer.
You may want to experiment with such features as Auto-
Zoom (sets the maximum scale for display of map items in
conjunction with the map detail setting), Accuracy Circle
(defines your location within the confines of the circle. Circle
size is determined by map resolution and GPS receiver
accuracy), and Basemap to determine your preferences.
