Using the Map Pointer

Use the map pointer to pan away from your current location and scroll to other

map areas around the world (even outside of your current detail coverage). As

you pan past the edge of the current map display, the screen actively scrolls

forward to provide continuous map coverage. An hourglass symbol appears by

the pointer while the unit is busy drawing new map detail.
Controlled by the ROCKER, the map pointer is an important tool that can be

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

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

To move the map pointer:

Press the

ROCKER to move the map pointer up, down, left, right, or

diagonally.

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

location to the map pointer are shown in the upper-left corner of the map, with

the map pointer’s location coordinates. Keep in mind that when the map pointer

is stationary, the distance and bearing from your present location changes as your

boat moves. The map pointer can also be used to snap to on-screen waypoints and

map items, allowing you to review a selected location directly from the map.

To select an on-screen waypoint or map item with the map pointer:

1. Use the

ROCKER to move the pointer to the waypoint or map item. When

a waypoint or map item is selected, it is highlighted on-screen with the

name and location shown.

2. Press

ENTER to view details of the map item. When using BlueChart or

MapSource data, or if waypoints are grouped tightly together due to the

Range setting, additional tabs appear on the Review Waypoint Page. Use

the

ROCKER to highlight the individual tabs to view the information and

additional options.
