Moving Around the Map: Zoom & Cursor Arrow Keys
The map is presented from a bird's-eye view perspective. The current
zoom range shows in the lower left corner of the screen. If the zoom
range says "4 mi," the map shows an area 4 nautical miles wide from
the left edge of the screen to the right edge of the screen.
1. Press the
ZIN key (zoom in) to move in closer and see greater detail in
a smaller geographic area.
2. Press the
ZOUT key (zoom out) to move farther away and see less map
detail, but a larger geographic area.
You can pan or scroll the map northward, southward, eastward or
westward by using the arrow keys, which launches the cross-hair map
cursor. To clear the cursor, press
EXIT, which jumps the map back to
the current position or the last known position.
