Map Screen Modes
The Map screen has two modes that it can be in, position or cursor. In the
Position mode the Map screen displays your position, indicated by the arrow icon
in the center of the map. The arrow not only displays your position but, when
moving, will point in the direction you are heading.
The Position mode is the default mode for the Map screen. Whenever you enter
the Map screen it will be in the Position mode.
