1. Allow unit to power up and acquire satellites.

3. Zoom chart in to 20 feet while in simulator mode.
4. Go to menu and turn simulator off.

The unit will now zoom to/from 20 foot chart range until you power down. You will have to repeat the procedure if you power down.

Verified by Tom. ha

In your truck? Are you using the side image to look under skirts on the sidewalk?:D

The simulator mode does not have any effect on the zoom on map chips

I have all of my settings backed up on my sd card that I keep in my unit. This has proved to be handy when I change something that I dont like but cant remember my original settings. I just load them from the sd card.

Go to files page and enter. Arrow down and highlight settings and export. Give the file a name on the keyboard page. Then save to memory card.

To restore, go to memory card, highlight your settings file, then import.
