the knob or touch the ‘+’ (decrease visible range) or the ‘-’ (increase visible range).

AUTO ZOOM
Auto Zoom allows the G3X Touch to change the map display range to the smallest
range clearly showing the active waypoint. Auto Zoom can be overridden by adjusting
the range and remains that way until the active waypoint changes, a terrain or traffic
alert occurs, or the aircraft takes off.
Safe Taxi also affects Auto Zoom. When the aircraft has landed at the destination
airport, the navigation map automatically zooms in to display the Safe Taxi diagram.
Enabling/disabling Auto Zoom:
1)
With the Map Page displayed, press the MENU Key.
2)
Touch Set Up Map.
3)
Under the ‘General’ Tab, find the Autozoom field.
4)
