GPSMAP 176/176C Owner’s Manual 9
BASIC OPERATION > USING THE MAP POINTER
Using the Map Pointer
The map pointer allows you to pan away from your present location
and scroll to other map areas around the world, even outside of
your current detailed coverage area. As you pan past the edge of the
current map display, the screen actively scrolls forward to provide
continuous map coverage. Keep in mind that the boat icon moves
with the scrolling map, and may not be visible on the display screen.
Press the ROCKER up, down, left, or right direction to move the
map pointer.
NOTE: When the pointer reaches the edge of the map, the unit
may pause as it loads new map data.
Position the pointer over an item on the map to highlight it.
As you move the pointer, the distance and bearing from your present
location to the pointer are displayed in the data window, along with
the pointer’s location coordinates. When you zoom in pan mode, the
pointer stays centered on the screen. Press QUIT to exit pan mode
and re-center on your current location.
The pointer may also be used to highlight on-screen waypoints and
map items, allowing you to review a selected location directly from
the map display.
To highlight an on-screen map item with the pointer:
Use the ROCKER to move the pointer to the desired waypoint
or map item. If there are several waypoints grouped closely
together, zoom in closer for a better view. When a waypoint or
map item is highlighted, the name and location are displayed
at the top of the screen.
