Using the Map Page
The Map Page is the primary navigation feature of the GPSmap 60.
The
Map Page displays a detailed map of the area surrounding your current
location. It allows you to pan the map with the ROCKER key and view
your progress when navigating. When in the “Track Up” mode (oriented
in the direction of travel), a north reference arrow appears at the top left
corner to orient the map. When in the “North Up” mode the map is
oriented like a paper map. When you activate the
Track Log feature, your
path of movement is indicated by a dotted line. The map display can be
changed to “Night” mode for easier viewing in dim light. The factory set
default automatically changes the display at sunrise and sunset.
The map also displays geographic details such as rivers, lakes, high-
ways and towns. The maps to the left show a higher level of detail than
the basemap provided with the unit (i.e. residential streets, parks, etc.)
