To review information for an on-screen airport,
navaid or user waypoint:
1. Use the panning function (as described on the
previous page) to place the target pointer on
a waypoint.
2. Press ENT to display the waypoint information
page(s) for the selected waypoint.
3. Press
CLR
to exit the information page(s).
Map Direct-To
To designate an on-screen airport, navaid or user
waypoint as your direct-to destination:
1. Use the panning function (see previous page)
to place the target pointer on a waypoint.
2. Press the direct-to key. The Select Direct-to
Waypoint Page appears, with the selected
waypoint already listed.
3. Press
ENT
twice to confirm the selection and
begin navigating to the waypoint.
The direct-to function can be used anywhere on
the map. If nothing currently exists at the crosshair
position, a new waypoint (called “+MAP”) is created
at the target pointer location before the direct-to is
initiated.
Use the panning function and direct-to key to
select a destination waypoint directly from
the map. “+MAP” is created as a waypoint if
nothing exists at the pointer’s location.
Airspace Information on the Map
When a special-use or controlled airspace bound-
ary appears on the map display, you can quickly
retrieve information — such as floor/ceiling limits and
controlling agency — directly from the map.
Use the panning function and ENT key to
retrieve airspace information from the map.
To view airspace information for an on-screen
special-use or controlled airspace:
1. Use the panning function (see previous page)
to place the target pointer on an open area
within the boundaries of an airspace. If the
area is congested and it is difficult to select an
open area, you may need to zoom in or press
CLR to make the selection easier.
