Map Direct-to
Designating an on-screen airport,
NAVAID, or user waypoint as the direct-to
destination:
1) Use the panning function (‘Map Panning’ in
this section) to place the target pointer on a
waypoint.
2) Press the Direct-to Key to display the select
Direct-to Waypoint Page, with the selected
waypoint already listed (Figure 2-14).

3) Press the ENT Key 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 target pointer
location, a new waypoint called ‘+MAP’ (Figure 2-13) is
created at the target pointer location before the direct-to
is initiated.
Airspace Information on the Map
When a special-use or controlled airspace boundary
appears on the Map Display, the pilot can quickly retrieve
information (such as floor/ceiling limits and controlling
agency) directly from the map.
Viewing airspace information for an
on-screen special-use or controlled
airspace:
1) Use the panning function (‘Map Panning’ in this
section) 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, it may be necessary to zoom in
or press the
CLR
Key to make the selection
easier (Figure 2-15).
