Moving Map Functions
Press the MAP key to reach the Moving Map function and view the progress of your
flight on a graphic display. Your present position, nearby waypoints, and special use
airspaces display options are user-selectable. Three pages are available in the Moving
Map function: full screen map, split screen with map and Nav info, and map setups.
Full Screen
Map
The full screen map page of the Moving Map function shows a graphic map of the
aircraft position, nearby user-selected waypoints, and your route. The aircraft position is
shown by an airplane symbol near the center of the display. The TO waypoint identifier is
shown in reversed text on the upper left corner. The bearing from your current position to
the TO waypoint is shown on the upper right corner. The map scale is shown in the lower
left corner. The distance from the current position to the TO waypoint is shown in the
lower right corner. A 5 nm “ATC Ring” can be drawn around airports that have a control
tower.
Controls
The Large knob moves to different pages of the Map function. The Small knob changes
the map scale. The smart Keys select the display of the waypoint types. The waypoint
types selectable from the map view are: airports, VORs, INTersections, and NDBs. Press
the smart key to control the display of the waypoint type. There are three selections
possible: waypoint identifier and location symbol, location symbol only, and off. Pressing
the smart key subsequent times will control which selection is made. The change will
also be displayed on the map setup pages. A solid, reversed waypoint type annunciator
above the smart key means the waypoint identifier and location symbol will both be
displayed. A bold outline of the waypoint type annunciator will show only a symbol on
the waypoint location. A thin outline around the waypoint type means that it is turned off
and no information for that waypoint type will be displayed on the map.
Map Scale
The Map Scaling is controlled by turning the Small knob while viewing the map. The
map scale value shown is the distance from the top point of the airplane icon to the top of
the screen. Map scale choices in nautical miles are: 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30,
40, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, and auto. The auto selection automatically adjusts the map
scale so the “TO” remains at the top of the display until the aircraft passes over the
waypoint. With “auto” selected, the map scale is approximately equal to the distance to
the TO waypoint for distances greater than 0.2 nm.
