down the center of the highway represents your desired track line.

Using the Highway Page
To stay on course, steer toward the violet bar (or arrows) until
it lines up with the red bar in the middle. The bottom section of
the screen provides visual guidance to the waypoint on a graphic
highway display. The line down the center of the highway represents
your desired track line.
As you head toward your destination, the highway perspective
moves to indicate your progress to the waypoint and which direction
you should steer to stay on course. If you are navigating a route, the
Highway Page shows each route waypoint in sequence connected
by a black “road” with a white line down the middle, which is your
desired track line. Nearby waypoints not in the active route can also
be shown. You can zoom in or out to show a larger or smaller view
of the highway.
To change the highway perspective scale:
Press IN to zoom in; press OUT to zoom out.
