The map pointer pans away from your present location (even 

outside of your current detail coverage.) As you pan past the edge 

of the current Map Page, the screen actively scrolls forward to 

provide continuous map coverage. An hourglass symbol appears by 

the map pointer while the unit is busy drawing new map details.

Move the map 

pointer over an 

item on the map 

to highlight it.

As you move the map pointer, the distance and bearing from your 

present location to the map pointer is shown in the data window, 

along with the map pointer’s location coordinates. Keep in mind 

that when the map pointer is stationary, the distance and bearing 

from your present position changes as your location moves. The 

map pointer can also be used to view on-screen waypoint and map 

item properties directly from the Map Page.

Pressing 

ENTER while 

highlighting a map item 

brings up additional 

details and options.
