Map Page 
The map screens show your course and track from a bird's-eye view. By 

default, this unit shows the map with north always at the top of the 

screen. (This can be changed using options in Advanced Mode. See the 
topic Map Orientation, in Sec. 5.) If you're navigating to a waypoint, the 

map also shows your starting location, present position, course line and 

destination. 
NOTE: 

When our text says, navigating to a waypoint, it is synonymous 
with navigation to any selected item, whether it is a waypoint you 

made, a map feature or an item from the POI database. 

Using the map is as simple as pressing the 

 key. A screen similar to 

those in the following images will appear. The arrow flashing in the center 

of the screen is your present position. It points in the direction you're trav-

eling. The solid line extending from the arrow is your plot trail or path 

you've taken. Remember, a flashing question mark/arrow symbol or flash-

ing text displays means the iFINDER has not yet calculated a position. 

The zoom range is the distance across the map. This number is shown 

in the lower left corner of the screen. In the first example below, the 

range is 4,000 miles from one side of the map to the other. The Zoom In 

and Zoom Out keys zoom the map to enlarge or reduce its coverage 

area. There are 40 zoom ranges, from 0.02 miles to 4,000 miles.
