Garmin 496 Manuale Proprietario

This section discusses the major pages in Automotive Mode, such 

as the Map Page, as well as some additional features, such as routes 

and points.

Refer to 

page 29-36

 in the 

section for more details about the Map Page.
The location marker (icon) that shows your travel on the Map Page 

is a triangle symbol   in Marine and Automotive modes. The 

GPSMAP 496 always turns on in location mode, with the last known 

location centered on the map. When you press the 

ROCKER, the 

GPSMAP 496 enters pan mode, which moves the map to keep the 

white arrow   (map pointer) within the screen area. 
In Automotive Mode, by default, four user-selectable data fields 

appear on the right side of the screen that can be configured to show 

any one of the possible data options. The top of the screen shows the 

GPS status or the route leg. You can also add additional data fields to 

the page or select a full screen map without data fields. 

Press the zoom keys (IN and OUT) to change the map range. Some 

items on the map appear only if the map is zoomed in to a certain 

level.
Press MENU to open the options menu for the Map Page. 
Enter Custom Avoids so your routes does not include areas you 

would like to avoid, such as high traffic areas. 
Use the ROCKER to measure the distance between two objects on 

the map. 
Change the page layout and data fields to customize the Map Page.
