DEM Basemap on an Automotive Device

Your Garmin automotive device has a Digital Elevation Map (DEM). This is a base map that shows shaded terrain contours at various zoom levels of 5 miles and above. On some devices, contours may be shown at zoom levels closer than 5 miles and will resemble shadows on the map.

The image below is an example of what the DEM looks like at the 50-mile zoom level.
