Map Waypoints
You’ll now have a clearer picture of the route you are navigating. Keep in mind that whenever you
do exceed the usable range of the built-in database or the optional MapSource data in use, the range

map data. Press the IN key to zoom into the 2 nm scale. Now that you’ve zoomed in a little closer to

waypoints. Try moving the cursor to highlight the ‘TOUR3’ waypoint— just use the ARROW KEYPAD
to move the cursor as close as possible to the waypoint. (To move the cursor in small increments, try
a series of short key presses.)
