The Map Page provides a comprehensive screen of electronic 

cartography, plotting, and navigational data. When using the unit 

with optional BlueChart or MapSource data, the Map Page shows 

your boat on a digital chart, complete with geographic names, map 

items, navaids, and a host of other chart features. It also plots your 

track and shows any routes and waypoints you create. The map 

pointer allows you pan and scroll to other map areas, determine the 

distance and bearing to a location, and perform various route and 

waypoint functions.
When the map pointer is active, an additional data window appears 

at the top of the map to indicate the location, range, and bearing to 

the map pointer, a selected waypoint, or map item. The map zoom 

range shown at the bottom right of the page. 
The Zoom RANGE Down and RANGE Up keys combined with 

the ROCKER, allows you select zoom ranges and move the map 

pointer. Two basic map operating modes, Position Mode and Pan 

Mode, determine what cartography is shown on the Map Page. 

Position Mode moves the cartography to keep the present position 

marker within the screen area. Pan Mode moves the cartography to 

keep the map pointer within the screen area.

The GPSMAP 292/298 system starts in the Position Mode, with 

your location centered on the Map Page. When sufficient map 

coverage is not available to keep your location centered, the 

position triangle moves toward the edge of the screen.
Pan Mode starts when the ROCKER is pressed. The map pointer 

is moved over the Map Page using the ROCKER. When the map 

pointer reaches the edge of the screen, the map scrolls forward 

under the map pointer.
