Five pages are available in Operation Mode—Map, Compass,
Navigation, Active Route, and Position Data.
Map Page
When you turn on the GPSMAP 580/585 , the Map page appears
after the unit acquires a satellite signal. The position marker
shows your current location on the map.
The Map page shows map information (digital cartography). Use the
dedicated zoom keys (IN and OUT) to adjust the Map page scale.
Two map operating modes, position mode and pan mode, determine
what cartography is shown on the map. Position mode pans the map
to keep your present location in the display area. The position marker
shows your travel on the Map page. The GPSMAP 580/585
always turns on in position mode, with the last known location
centered on the map. When you press the
Rocker
, the GPSMAP
580/585 enters pan mode, which moves the map to keep the white
arrow (map pointer) within the display area.
In Operation mode, four user-selectable data fields appear on the
right side of the screen that can be configured to show any one of the
possible data options. You can also add additional data fields to the
page or select a full screen map without data fields.
