The map zoom range is shown in the lower left corner of the screen. In
the first example below, the range is 4,000 miles from the left edge of
the map to the right edge of the map.
The Zoom Out and Zoom In keys enlarge or reduce the map's coverage
area and the amount of mapping detail shown. There are 40 available
map zoom ranges, from 0.02 miles to 4,000 miles.
Map Page opening screen (left). Zoomed to 100 miles (center) and
zoomed to 6 miles (right). Over Zoomed means you have reached the
detail limits in an area covered only by the basic background map.
Zooming in any closer will reveal no more map details because a high-
detail custom map has not been loaded on the MMC for this area.
If you're using only the factory-loaded background map, the maximum
zoom range for showing additional map detail is 8 miles. You can zoom
in closer, but with the exception of a few major city streets, the map
will be enlarged without revealing more map content. Load your own
high-detail custom map made with MapCreate and you can zoom in to
0.02 miles with massive amounts of accurate map detail.

Arterial streets appear at the 4-mile zoom range, with a few Point of
Interest icons visible (left). Numerous dots representing POIs become
visible at the 3-mile range (center). At a 0.4-mile zoom, you can see an
interstate highway with an exit, major and minor streets as well as
POI icons (right).
