Displaying NEXRAD Weather / TFRs
When an SV-ADSB-470/472 is connected and configured, MAIN MENU > MAP > LAYERS opens
the layers menu that allows you to depict weather on top of any of the other layers. Pushing
the WEATHER button will toggle the NEXRAD overlay to be displayed, or not displayed.
To see an animated sequence of the last few NEXRAD pages received, push and hold the
WEATHER button. (The SV-ADSB-470/472 must have been running for a long enough period to
gather successive NEXRAD pages).
Terrain highlighting is always displayed, but in muted tones, to allow the NEXRAD weather / TFR
graphics to stand out. Weather information is partially transparent to allow chart information
to remain visible. Other databases (aviation, obstacles, base map, etc.) are always displayed.
