Map Page; Panning The Map - DeLorme Earthmate PN-60 GPS User Manual

Map Page

The Map Page centers the map on your current location when the PN-60 has a 2-D or 3-D fix. When it does not have a
GPS fix, the map displays your last GPS position, or, if panning the map, the map cursor position. For more information,
see GPS and WAAS Status on page 18.
GPS Arrow
The GPS arrow displays on the map when GPS is turned on. The color of the GPS arrow depends on your GPS signal
and the arrow points in the direction of the last known heading.
• Flashing Red–The device cannot obtain a GPS signal and is not tracking satellites.
• Blue–The device is in Track Playback mode or Simulate Navigation mode.
• Yellow–The device has a 2-D fix. If a 3-D fix has not been obtained, predicted ephemeris is available.
• Green–The device has a 3-D fix.
Tracking
When tracking satellites, a track line—also known as a breadcrumb trail—follows the GPS arrow as you move.
If you have turned off track recording, the track does not appear. For more information, see Tracks Page on page 42.
Scale and Orientation
For information about:
• Setting the scale, see Scale on page 15.
• Map orientation, see Orientation on page 14.

Panning the Map

There are two ways to pan the map. When you pan the map, the map cursor—a white arrow—shows your location.
• Automatic panning–When GPS tracking or navigating, the map automatically pans in the direction of travel. The
map does not automatically pan when the map cursor is visible. Press QUIT to remove the map cursor and return
to automatic panning.
