Map Scale
The Map Page displays your present position and
direction of movement using a triangular 'Position Icon'
that is centered on the map. As you travel, the map
display leaves a "trail" (track log) of your movements.
The map also displays geographic details such as
major cities. Navigation aids (Points of Interest) are also
displayed. The map can display even more map item
details when GARMIN MapSource "Points of Interest"
data has been downloaded to the unit using a CD-ROM
program.
To allow you to view the map from different perspec-
tives, the scale can be changed from 20 feet to 500 miles.
The ZOOM IN and OUT buttons on the side of the unit
allow you to zoom In or Out on the map. Pressing and
holding these buttons causes the scale to change rapidly
instead of changing in increments. The IN button will
show you less area, but more map details while the OUT
button displays a larger area with less map details.
A Status Window at the top of the page provides
you with current satellite tracking and position accuracy
information.
