This chapter provides general information about the functions of the keys and

entering data (connecting the GeoPilot2 to power).

QUICK GUIDE

1.1 THE KEYBOARD

The GeoPilot2 has 7 keys, which access and control features. Some keys perform 

different tasks based on the operation mode. A quick key guide is displayed at the 

bottom of many menus for easy reference.

Below we indicate the keys in capital letters enclosed between single inverted 

commas, for example ‘MENU’. When a key, for example ‘MENU’, must be pressed 

and held down for more than 1 second it is shown as ‘MENU’ 1 sec.

The NEAR key

‘NEAR’

: press and hold to turn the GeoPilot2 On.

‘NEAR’

 3 sec.: once the GeoPilot has been turned On turns the GeoPilot Off.

‘NEAR’

: (immediately release!) Displays a list of the 20 nearest objects, including 

private airports which contain runways of at least 500 ft. in lenght, relative to fix 

position or cursor position if no fix is available.

‘NEAR’

: 1 sec  once the GeoPilot2 has been turned On displays the

Brightness and the Night Palette Menu.

The GoTo key

Activates a Flight Plan to the cursor position (in Moving Map) or to selected object (in

other modes).

GOTO 1 sec.: allows the user to quickly filter mapping information on the display. 

There are three Cycle modes selectable and holding GOTO shifts from one to the 

other in succession. The default Cycle is the Cycle 1 that normally activates all 

features to be visible on the display. 

To set user preferences for the Cycle Key:

‘MENU’ + “SELECTIVE DISPLAY” + ‘ENTER’

The Cycles appear in the first three columns and are labeled 1, 2 and 3. In order to 

adjust at which Cycle features appear, use the Cursor Control key to highlight an item
