Garmin PERSONAL NAVIGATOR GPS 95 XL Owner's Manual page 47

The GPS 95 also features a Map Display which shows a graphic top view of
your location. The current ground speed is indicated at the top right corner
of the display. The top left corner defines the orientation of the Map Display:
"North up", "Track up", or "Desired track up." If "000" is shown, the Map
Display is oriented "North up." (See Section 5.3 for selection of Map Display
orientation.) Your present position is shown in the middle of the display. If
the Map Display is oriented "Track up" your present position is indicated by
an aircraft symbol. If either "North up" or "Desired track up" orientations are
selected, the present position is indicated by a crosshair ("+").

You may select which items you wish to display. The Map Display can
provide the fifteen nearest waypoints of each category: airport, VOR, NDB,
intersection, and user. GOTO or route waypoints which are not part of the
fifteen nearest waypoints will also be displayed. The Map Display can draw
the boundaries of nearby special-use / controlled airspaces. The track
history and/or the active route may also be shown as solid lines on the
display. Selection of which items to display is performed on the Map
Configuration Page. (See Section 5.3.)
You may view the identifier for any waypoint on the Map Display by moving
the cursor over that waypoint (with the arrow keys). By moving the cursor
around the page you can identify each waypoint shown. Keep in mind that
when the cursor is over a given waypoint you may review information about
that waypoint by pressing ENT, or plot a course to that waypoint by pressing
GOTO. (HINT: When viewing waypoint identifiers you may quickly return the
cursor to the lower right corner by pressing CLR.)
The scale distance for the screen (distance represented by the height of the
screen) is at the lower left corner of the screen. The scale setting number
(bottom right corner) may be changed to select the desired scale distance.
You may zoom in to a .5 nautical mile scale, or out to a maximum scale of 240
nautical miles.
