Activation of maps in the GPS
1. Activation of the map(s) in the GPS
If the map image is not shown in the GPS, check that the map is selected to be shown.
The method for doing this depends on the GPS model. For example you may find it on
the
MapSource Info
screen, accessed from the unit's main menu or on the information
page of the Setup Map screen. Consult your unit's documentation to find out how to
access this screen display.
2. Activation / Deactivation of the GPS' base map
Loaded maps usually have more detail of the zone than the base map (which comes from
the factory with the GPS).
Some GPS models allow you to deactivate the base map in the GPS (so that zoom levels
do not mix up with the other loaded maps). Depending on the GPS model, this is done
via the option
Basemap
in the
Map
tab, in the
Setup Map
menu (which can be accessed
by pressing the key
Menu
once in the map page).
Note that you can also use the Transparent= line in your
PFM
file header section.
Refer to section 4.2.4.1 (on page 18) for details.
