The Map tab changes the display properties of the Map Page.
The following pages contain descriptions of the Map tab’s eight
sub tabs.
General Sub Tab
• Detail—Most, More, Normal, Less, Least: controls how
much map detail appears. This setting only applies to map
features set to Auto. Features that have a specified zoom
range or are turned off are unaffected by this setting.
• Orientation—North Up: fixes the top of the map display to
a north heading. Track Up: fixes the top of the map display
to the current track heading. Course Up: fixes the map so the
direction of navigation is always up.
• AutoZoom—On, Off: when On the map automatically
adjusts the map range to a lower range as you approach your
destination point.
• Color Mode—Water Mode, Land Mode: lightens the shade
of the water areas in Water Mode and land in Land Mode.
This option is only available on the GPSMAP 188.

MapSource data loaded in the unit or on the data card.
