[. . . ] Your course is represented by the center line down the middle of the graphic highway. As you head toward your destination, the highway perspective will move to indicate your progress to the waypoint and which direction you should steer to stay on course. If you are navigating a route, the highway display will show each route waypoint in sequence, with the route course indicated by a black highway. You can zoom in or out on the highway display for a smaller or larger view. Five available settings range from 1X to 16X, with a default setting of 8X. Press the IN zoom key to increase the zoom level and show a smaller view area. Press the OUT zoom key to decrease the zoom level and show a larger view area. REFERENCE Highway Page Your course is represented by the highway center line. Keep the center line in the middle of the display to stay on course.
