Setting Guidance Options
Figure 66: Setting Guidance Options

The Guidance menu allows you to configure what types of events you want to be verbally notified about, and what level of voice prompting should occur when the LN740 announces an up-coming turn.

Map Settings
Figure 67: Map Settings

The Map Settings page allows you to enable/disable the automatic zoom feature (enabled by default) and larger text on the map screen. Automatic zoom is a handy feature that automatically changes the zoom level on the map depending on the next maneuver. When enabled, as you approach a turn, the map will automatically zoom in to better show the maneuver. After the turn, the map automatically zooms back out.

Extras
Figure 68: Extras

Tapping on the More button on the Setup page (shown in figure 68) brings up the Extras screen, shown above. This menu accesses the interactive GPS tutorial, the animated demo of the LN740, the help menu, as well as the initialize and select map functions.
