Map Page
The Map page is the main operating page of the StreetPilot III. It graphically shows you map
details, your current location, and marks your route to a destination with a magenta colored route line.
It tells you what direction to go or the direction you are traveling. It tells you your speed, the distance
you have traveled, or the distance to the next turn, and the time remaining before reaching the next
turn. If the StreetPilot III has yet to calculate your location, there is a fl ashing question mark over the
vehicle pointer and the status text displays ‘Acquiring Satellites’, ‘Searching for Satellites’, or ‘Locating
Satellites’.
The map display shows your present position and direction of movement as a triangular ‘Position
Icon’ in the center of the map. The map display also shows the map scale and geographic details such
as lakes, rivers, highways, and towns. You can use the IN and OUT keys to change the map scale to
show more map area with less detail, or less map area with more detail. Press and hold these keys to
zoom the map scale rapidly.
