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. The map can display 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 120 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 a larger area with less map details while the
OUT button displays less area but more map details.
A Status Window at the top of the page provides
you with current satellite tracking and position accuracy
information.
