Zoom out till you can see the area where the lake you want to check out is located.... then Just move the cursor to the lake you want to see and hit the IN button a few times... it will zoom in just fine. When you are done hit (I'm trying to remember... my H2Oc is at Sea Nympho's house!) the exit and it will return to your current position.

Get to the map page and scroll the cursor anyehere you want. Hint- Zoom out first to cover larger distances. I had an H2O and will probably get another one, but I have the Expedition C right now. FYI- The Color units don't show up as good in bright sunlight. That's why I'm getting a basic H2O for the boat. I had the Hot Maps, but I like the NauticPath better. Both are good though.

That's a steal on a H2Oc WITH a chip!

BOE has BY FAR the best prices I've ever seen. I bought two chips from them. http://www.byownerelectronics.com/store/home.php
