When the map is zoomed out far enough, most POIs appear as square
dots (left). As you zoom in closer, the symbols become readable icons.
In the 0.6-mile zoom example (right), the cursor has selected the Cupps
Café POI, which triggers a pop-up box with the POI name. This pop-up
box works on POIs at any zoom range.
Tip:
In some urban areas, businesses are so close to one another that
their POI icons crowd each other on the screen. In the preceding
figure, you can see a jumbled pile of POIs along Highway 34. You
can reduce screen clutter and make streets and other map features
easier to see by turning off the display of undesired POIs. (To see
how, check out the Map Detail Category section, page 150.)
The Map Page has its own menu, which is used for several functions
and for setting various options. To access the Map Page Menu, from the
Map Page, press

The Pages Menu also offers several map display options under the Map
