How to change the map zoom level for the Gamin Forerunner 920XT, answered!

I’ve been running with the Garmin 920XT for a couple years and have been very happy with it. My only complaint is that the map is always stuck on a 0.3 mile scale! Which makes the map virtually useless for my training runs or especially my 50k or 50 mile runs.

Gamin’s owner manual is not helpful:

Online forums are filled with frustrated users and people that won’t purchase the device because of the problem.

Well here is how you adjust the zoom level:

• Open your map screen.
• Hold down the button in the bottom left corner (the one with the three dots) for a few seconds until the menu comes up.
• Select the “Zoom” menu item
• Use the up/down arrows to change the map zoom level, press “enter” to save the change.

Hope this helps! See you on the trails.
