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 3005C 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 display 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 fixed coordinate location appears in
the position field. 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.

review location data of on-screen map items and waypoints.
