MULTI FUNCTION DISPLAY
Display Units
The Display Units section of the System Setup Page
allows you to configure the displayed data to standard or
metric units of measure. The Display Units section also
provides two magnetic variation (heading) options: True
and Auto. If ‘Auto’ is selected, all track, course and heading
information is corrected to the computed magnetic
variation. The “True” setting references all information to
true north.
The Display Units section of the System Setup Page
displays the following data:
• Nav Angle
• Magnetic variation
• Distance and speed units
• Altitude and vertical speed units
• Barometric pressure units
• Temperature units
• Fuel and fuel flow units
The aviation database contains over 100 map datums
to adjust your position reading, making it conform to
specific paper charts. The default datum setting is WGS
84. If you are using a chart based on another datum, you
should set the G1000 to use the same datum. Using a map
datum that does not match the charts you are using can
result in significant differences in position information.
If you are using the paper charts for reference only, the
G1000 still provides correct navigation guidance to the
waypoints contained in the database, regardless of the da-
tum selected.
The Display Units section of the System Setup Page
allows the following operations:
• To select a Nav Angle (auto, true)
• To select Distance and speed units (metric or
nautical)
• To select Altitude and vertical speed units (feet,
meters)
• To select Barometric pressure units (inches of
mercury, hectopascals)
• To select Temperature units (Celsius, Fahrenheit)
• To select Fuel and fuel flow units (gallons, impe-
rial gallons, kilograms, liters, pounds)
To change a Display Units setting:
1. Select the System Setup Page.
2. Press the
FMS
knob momentarily, to activate
the flashing cursor.
3. Turn the
large FMS
knob to highlight the
desired ‘DISPLAY UNITS’ field.
4. Turn the
small FMS
knob to display the options
list for the selected item.
5. Turn the
small or large FMS
knob to highlight
the new selection.
6. Press the
ENT
key.
