Use the RANGE Up and RANGE Down keys and the ROCKER to select zoom
ranges and move the map pointer. Two basic map operating modes, Position
Mode and Pointer Mode, determine what cartography (map data) is shown on
the Map Page. Position Mode pans the cartography to keep the current position
marker within the display area, whereas Pointer Mode pans the cartography to
keep the map pointer within the display area.
The GPSMAP 3006C/3010C starts in Position Mode, with your location centered
on the map.
Press up, down, left, or right on the ROCKER to enter Pointer Mode. In Pointer
Mode:
• You can move the map pointer over the map using the
ROCKER.
• When the map pointer reaches the edge of the display, the map scrolls
forward under the pointer. Keep in mind that the boat icon moves with the
map scrolling and may go off the screen (you might not be able to see your
current location).
• When the map pointer is stationary, a xed coordinate location appears in
the position eld. The distance and bearing change as the boat’s location
changes.
• When you change the range in Pointer Mode, the map pointer is centered
on the screen.
• To return to Position Mode, press QUIT
.
NOTE: When the map pointer reaches the edge of the map, the unit may pause
as it loads new map data.
