Map Page
The Map Page displays your present position and
direction of movement using a triangular Position Icon
that is shown on the map. As you travel the map display
leaves a “trail” (track log) of your movements.
The map displays geographic details such as rivers, lakes,
highways, and towns. The map can display a higher level
of detail than the basemap provided with the unit (i.e.
residential streets, parks, etc.), if Garmin MapSource
data has been downloaded to the unit using a CD-ROM
mapping program. When using MapSource data, the word
“mapsource” displays below the map scale whenever you
zoom in to view map details.
At the top of the Map Page, you can choose to show
either the Contact Bar, Data Fields, Guidance Text,
or only the Map. As you highlight the contacts on the
Contact Bar, the Map Page centers the map on that
contact and displays its name, direction, and distance.
Highlighting the Contact on the Map Page and pressing
the Call button polls the contact.
In many instances the map displays an Accuracy Circle
surrounding the Position Icon. The Rino 520/530 uses
both map resolution and GPS accuracy in defining your
location to a point within the circle. The smaller the
circle, the more accurate your location.
When using the Pan Map feature (accessed from the Map
Page Option Menu), a small outline arrow (Map Pointer)
can be moved about the page to highlight and identify
map items or to scroll the map to view areas not shown
on the display screen.
