How do I disable the Auto Zoom feature on my Garmin device?

While many Garmin auto devices automatically adjust the zoom level, some allow you to either enable or disable this feature.

For North American models, only the nuvi 5000 and the zumo 220, 350, 390, 590 (see note), 660 and 665 have this feature. On these models, the Auto Zoom feature adjusts the zoom level based on speed and road type.

European versions include:
Camper/RV series, dezl series, dezlCam, LIVE 1695, LIVE 2300 series, nuvi 55, 56, 57, 58 devices, nuvi 60, 2200, 2300, 2400, 2407, 2408, 2405, 2505, 2507, 2508, 2509, 2609, 2707, 2708, 2709, 3400, 3500, 3507, 3508, and 3700 series, zumo 590 (see note) and nuviCam.
On these models, and those whose Auto Zoom cannot be disabled, the device zooms in when approaching a turn.

Note: Both European and North American versions of the 590 have Auto Zoom that adjusts the zoom level based on speed and road type.
