Like ADS-B radar, ADS-B lightning has a defined coverage area.
However, whereas the ADS-B radar coverage is shown by
highlighted those areas that are

not

covered, the coverage area for

ADS-B lightning is shown by highlighting the area that

is

covered.

The coverage area for which lightning data has been received is
depicted using a “shadow”, as illustrated below. The shadow
consists of a transparent, gray region on all Land declutter settings.
This allows for quick distinction between two coverage areas when
simultaneously displaying radar and lightning overlays.

ADS-B Lightning Coverage Area Shadow

WEATHER OVERLAYS ON MAP

The “Wx Overlay” LSK on the map page brings up a control page on
which the layers can be turned on or off.

Wx Overlay Selection

The options vary with the installed datalink device and subscription
level.
