The Map Page displays your present position and 

direction of movement using a triangular Position Icon 

that is shown on the map. As you travel the map display 

leaves a “trail” (track log) of your movements.
The map displays geographic details such as rivers, lakes, 

highways, and towns. The map can display a higher level 

of detail than the basemap provided with the unit (i.e. 

residential streets, parks, etc.), if Garmin MapSource 

data has been downloaded to the unit using a CD-ROM 

mapping program. When using MapSource data, the word 

“mapsource” displays below the map scale whenever you 

zoom in to view map details.
At the top of the Map Page, you can choose to show 

either the 

Contact Bar, Data Fields, Guidance Text, 

or only the Map. As you highlight the contacts on the 

Contact Bar, the Map Page centers the map on that 

contact and displays its name, direction, and distance.
Highlighting the Contact on the Map Page and pressing 

the Call button polls the contact.

In many instances the map displays an Accuracy Circle 

surrounding the Position Icon. The Rino 520/530 uses 

both map resolution and GPS accuracy in defining your 

location to a point within the circle. The smaller the 

circle, the more accurate your location.
When using the Pan Map feature (accessed from the Map 

Page Option Menu), a small outline arrow (Map Pointer) 

 can be moved about the page to highlight and identify 

map items or to scroll the map to view areas not shown 

on the display screen.
