Anleitung Zusammenfassung
The medium-detail U.S. maps contain: all incorporated cities; shaded metropolitan areas; county boundaries; shaded public lands (such as national forests and parks); some major city streets; Interstate, U.S. and state highways; Interstate highway exits and exit services information; large- and medium-sized lakes and streams; and more than 60,000 navigation aids and 10,000 wrecks and obstructions in U.S. coastal and Great Lakes waters MapCreate custom maps include massive amounts of information not found in the background map. MapCreate maps contain the searchable Points of Interest database, all the minor roads and streets, all the landmark features (such as summits, schools, radio towers, etc.); more rivers, streams, smaller lakes and ponds and their names. What's more important is the large scale map detail that allows your GPS unit to show a higher level of position accuracy. For example, the background map would show you the general outline and approximate shape of a coastline or water body, but the higher detail in MapCreate shows the shoreline completely and accurately (finer detail). Many smaller islands would not be included in the background map, but are, of course, in MapCreate. NOTE: Available through LEI Extras (look inside back cover for accessory ordering information), FreedomMaps are pre-made maps that contain all of the same information available in a custom MapCreate map, without any of the work of preparation. 30 Major Street School POI POI Pop-up Restaurant POI POI Marker Position, distance and bearing data Cursor lineInterstateMinor Streets Zoom Range When the map is zoomed out far enough, most POIs appear as square dots (left). As you zoom in closer, the symbols become readable icons. In the 0.2-mile zoom example (right), the cursor has selected the Cupps Cafe POI, which triggers a pop-up box with the POI name. This pop-up box works on POIs at any zoom range. Tip: In some urban areas, businesses are so close to one another that their POI icons crowd each other on the screen. You can reduce screen clutter and make streets and other map features easier to see by simply turning off the display of POIs you're not watching for. (To see how, check the text on Map Detail Category Selection, page 77. It shows how to use the Map Categories Drawn menu to turn individual POI displays off and on.) Even though their display is turned off, you can still search for POIs and their icons will popup when your unit finds them for you. The Map Page has its own menu, which is used for several functions and for setting various options. To access the Map Page Menu, from the Map Page, press MENU. The Pages Menu also offers several map display options under the Map Page category. To access them, press PAGES|<> to MAP|v to Op- tion|EXIT. 31 Two Position Formats map page option. In pages that have two major windows (such as two maps) you can toggle back and forth between the two windows by pressing PAGES|PAGES. Each time you switch between the windows, Active Map will be displayed at the top of the active window. Pages Menu with Two Map option selected (left). Map Page with two map windows (right). Resize Window command Resize Window is another extremely handy feature for pages that have two major windows. You can change the relative size of the windows, as well as horizontal or vertical layout, to suit your viewing preference. Here's how: 1. From any two-window display, press MENU|v to RESIZE WINDOW|ENT. 2. Four flashing arrows appear along the centerline dividing the two windows. Press an arrow key perpendicular to the centerline to adjust the window widths. 32 Press an arrow key parallel to the centerline to switch between horizontal and vertical layout. Press EXIT to clear the four flashing arrows. Fig. 1. Fig. 2. Fig. 3. Fig. 1. Two Maps page display with four flashing arrows on the dividing centerline. Fig. 2. The centerline has been moved down to enlarge the top map, which is now zoomed in to 40 miles. Fig. 3. Pressing > has switched the page layout from horizontal to vertical. 3. To change the window size again or revert back to the original display, just follow the steps above. (Most dual-window displays use half the screen for each window by default.) You can also use the Reset Options command to revert to the factory default. NOTE: The units described by this manual are all capable of using this command. If your unit does not have a Resize Window command on the Map Page menu, you can update your software by visiting our web site or by contacting customer service. The following page contains a 12-step quick reference for the most basic GPS operations. If you don't want to carry the manual with you as you practice with the unit, you might consider photocopying this quick reference page and tucking it into your pocket. 33 Basic GPS Quick Reference Start outdoors, with a clear view of the open sky. As you practice, try navigating to a location at least a few blocks away. While you're learn...
