[. . . ] Your GPSMAP 200 will always power up in the position mode, with your aircraft centered on the map display. Whenever the R keypad is pressed (with the map page displayed), the GPSMAP 200 will enter cursor mode and the cursor's position coordinates appear above the map. To exit cursor mode and return to position mode, press Q. The compass may be replaced with a graphic CDI, to provide course guidance on the map page. You can also add additional data fields to the display (six in this example). 51 REFERENCE Map Page To move the cursor: 1. Whenever the cursor reaches the edge of the display, the map will scroll forward under the cursor. Keep in mind that the airplane icon will move with the map scrolling and may go off the display screen. When the cursor is stationary, a fixed coordinate position will appear in the position field. Note that the distance and bearing will change as your position changes. Whenever you zoom in or out with the A key, the cursor will be centered on the map display. To return to position mode (and show your present position again), press the Q key. Use the R keypad to display the cursor and pan away from your present position (denoted by the airplane icon). The lower scale setting will show a smaller area, but in greater detail. If no waypoint is highlighted at the cursor position, you can still go to the position. The GPSMAP 200 automatically creates a waypoint named `MAPWPT'. 53 REFERENCE Map Page SELECTING MAP SCALES (cont. ) The GPSMAP 200's system has a built-in base map providing best map detail at scales down to 20 nautical miles. Worldwide coverage is available by adding the International Mapping Datacard to an Americas-version GPSMAP 200, or by adding the Americas Mapping Datacard to an International-version GPSMAP 200. Datacards are also available for Canada and Alaska to provide additional detail. Map detail will conform to the following conditions: · When the selected zoom range is covered by both the internal base map and a mapping datacard, map detail will be displayed using the data with the best resolution. · When the selected zoom range exceeds the resolution of the available chart data, overzoom map detail will be displayed. An `Ovr Zm' warning will appear on the status bar, next to the map scale. Additional caution should be used while navigating in this mode. Zoom in to see more detail for a smaller area. Extra caution should be used when exceeding the resolution of the map data.
