While driving today, it occurred to me that I always for no apparent reason set my GPS "zoom" setting at 1/8 mile in every car.

Just curious (slow evening) is this the most popular setting or am I a statistical outlier?

 

Most of the time in this car 1/8. My Infiniti sedan I set it at 1/16 for some reason. The increments are different on every system it seems. My fear is that I switched to 1/8 subconciously because I'm getting older.

 

Embrace your decrepitude.

 

200 m

 

Never! I'm going down swinging.

 

I've never used it, once in a while I turn it on to see if it still works. Don't really need nav in Vegas!

 

How do you change the zoom? Mine doesn't zoom in at all (factory set) and I'm like WTF good is this thing If I can only hear and not see it.

 

On the lower left corner of the screen is a button that indicates the current zoom. Punch that button and a scaled line appears at the bottom of the screen. Each mark to the left of the dot indicating scale will progressively double the scale (1/8,1/4,1/2 mile etc.) Each mark to the right cuts the scale by 1/2.

 

thank you sir. Will try that this week. I didn't see that but was also enroute when I was looking so easily could've missed it.
