Working from the Map Page centers around the use of the map 

pointer. Controlled by the 

ROCKER, the map pointer is used 

to pan to map locations, mark and edit waypoints and routes, 

and review position data of on-screen map items and waypoints. 

When you move the map pointer over a map item, a highlighted 

description of that item appears.
