Dumb Question

OK, I’ve read the manual a bunch of times and I searched the Internet and I still can’t find an answer to this question.

I’m looking at the Lakemaster map on my Helix 7. On the left hand side of the screen there is a number. “50 ft”, “100 ft”, whatever. I can zoom in and out with the +/- buttons, and the number changes.

BUT WHAT DOES THE NUMBER MEAN???????????

If it says “50 ft” is the whole screen 50 feet across? Is it 50 feet per inch? I can’t find an answer and it’s driving me nuts.

Thanks

Steve

On my maps, there is a line directly below the number, the length of the line is the distance represented by the number.

Nevermind I read the question wrong.

I believe you are correct sir.

Range…

Steve it’s not worth losing your mind over.I have never given that a thought i just know that the arrow points me in in the direction i want to go.

There are little tabs on that hash mark, the length means thats how far it is. 50′ = line length
100′ = line length.

You mean the line just to the left of the number? I finally saw that line a couple f days ago and figured that must be what it means. Thanks!
