showing data tabs.
Both types of Map pages display a vehicle icon which indicates your present position and direction of
movement as a triangular icon in the center of the map. Depending upon your map scale setting, you can
see a variety of geographic detail such as lakes, rivers, highways, and towns.
If you would like to see more detail at your current driving position, or if you would like to see a
broader view of the area, you can change the Map scale to zoom in to or out of your current position as
the Map page continues to follow the vehicle icon. Simply touch the map scale and the map tools bar will
appear. Use the zoom icons (+ or - magnifying glasses) to select your new detail level. To return to the pre-
vious page, simply touch the white arrow at the top of the map tools bar. Note that you can use this feature
whether you are in driving or in routing mode.
In the example above, your current driving position always appears on the Map page. Another
StreetPilot feature allows you to “look ahead” on the Map page so that you can view areas beyond your
current position, but without interrupting the function of the Map page. Simply touch any area on the Map
page EXCEPT for the map scale. As in the example above, the map tools bar will appear. The differences are
that the map pointer will also appear on the Map page, and the Map page itself will stay stationary until you
move (pan) the Map page. The vehicle icon will continue to move along your route, but you will be able to
move beyond your current position as you pan.
