Map

The map screen may include the map, plus (depending on operating mode), current location and road, current speed display, heading, arrival time, time to next run, and next turn display. These are user selectable (to some extent) which items are displayed.
At turns, map image on the left side of the screen will show details of the direction and angle of the coming turn. Distance to the turn is indicated in a window on the right side of the screen.
The map screen has pan and zoom and scales from 120 feet (1/2 inch) to about 800 miles (screen width).
The map display may be set to north up, or current track up.
The map display provides an array of user customizable features such as autozoom, map detail control, tracklog on/off, street label size, railroads on/off, north up/track up, display waypoint/exit/POI controls, city/town text size selection, display/don't display map features such as restaurants, hotels, shopping centers, garages/service stations, tourist attractions, entertainment centers and similar.
A screen back lighting timer feature is provided in Quest
A screen arrow and distance to go number that pops up to show approaching next turn can be selected as a display option.
Waypoints may be named with a ten character name plus a symbol (boat, gas pump, house, etc.) which may be selected from a library of 45 symbols. The Quest has no feature at present to allow you to "jump" the map to a waypoint position as do many other car navigators.
Proximity waypoints are not provided in the Quest.
North reference can be "true" north (no magnetic/true north heading reference selection), magnetic local deviation reference or user selected.
When navigating a route, the pointer points along the road in the correct direction of travel. This happens even if the road is curvy and makes many changes in direction. This is in contrast with conventional route technology which has the pointer constantly pointing at the next waypoint (turn). As each turn is approached, the quest delivers a verbal warning and a special pointer automatically indicates the proper turn direction and the command line switches to the next waypoint (turn) in the route list. There is no concept of "reversed route" in Quest (but off road backtracking along a tracklog is supported). Each automatically generated route is from "where you are now" to a fixed destination. Each destination you want to travel to (on road) is selected from one of user waypoints, POI, addresses, street intersections, etc.
The Quest has zoom in/out buttons on the left size of the screen. Zoom permits easy expansion or contraction of the map display as needed.
The Quest offers many dozens of different waypoint symbols for pictorially identifying waypoints. This feature permits the user to show such objects as anchors, boats, gas pumps, houses, cars, fish, etc., to further identify waypoints on the map display.
Waypoint mark is available in the Quest by pressing and holding the ok key.
You can find waypoints by name, and you can review the "most recently used" waypoints.
