Zooming In And Zooming Out; Panning Around The Map; Exiting Map Pan Mode; Creating A Waypoint At The Pan Cursor Position - Magellan eXplorist GC User Manual

Zooming In and Zooming Out

Pressing ZOOM- (zoom out) or ZOOM+ (zoom in) changes the map scale, which allows you to see
greater detail at your cursor or displays more of the map.
The Magellan eXplorist GC receiver also has a feature that is called Auto Zoom. When Auto Zoom is
turned on and you are travelling to a geocache or a waypoint, the map scale is automatically set to the
scale that will display your current position as well as your destination. (This feature can be turned on
or off in Map Options.) If you use the zoom buttons while Auto Zoom is setting the map scale, the
display will zoom in or out for a set period of time and then reset to display your current position and
the destination.

Panning Around the Map

While the map is displayed, you can use the joystick to pan around the map.
This enables you to visually create a waypoint or go to a point on the map. As
you pan over detailed features, a Quick Info pop-up is displayed with some
information about the point on the map or geocache that the cursor is over. The
Quick Info pop-up can be turned off or on under Map Options. The top of the
display shows the distance from your current position to the pan cursor.
