Basic Functions

This section of the manual provides information about some of the basic functions of the Earthmate

PN-40.

Panning the Map

There are two ways to pan the map:

• Manually pan the map by placing the cursor along the map edge and holding the arrow keypad

in the direction that you want to move the map.
• Automatically pan the map when GPS tracking/navigating. The map automatically pans in the

direction of travel when the GPS cursor travels outside of the map area.

Getting Information About a Map Object

There are two ways to get information about a map object.

• Press the arrow keypad to position your cursor over the map objects you want to learn more

about. The status bar at the bottom of the Map Page provides name information for the object.

Press ENTER to display the Info Page.
• Press ENTER at any time to get information about objects that are at your current GPS location.

Note: If multiple objects are found at the cursor location, the Multiple Objects screen displays a

list of the available objects at that location; objects you have created appear at the top of the

list. Use the arrow keypad to select an object and then press ENTER to view the Info Page for

that object. To save a map object as a waypoint, highlight it and press Mark.
