At the top center of the screen the peak of the compass rose, a 3-digit number shows
the current ground-track
of the aircraft. If the map screen is configured to show
“track up” this will correspond to the map orientation also.
The lower right corner of the map screen are reserved for the
active
flight plan data
. The lower left corner will display the estimated
Time Enroute (TE) or Time of Arrival (TA) once a flight plan is
activated. Tapping the ETE field on the screen will toggle it to
ETA. If you have a multi leg flight plan loaded, tapping NXT will
toggle between showing the time and distance to the NEXT
waypoint and the final DESTINATION.
The distance to the next waypoint or destination, appear in the lower right. If the map
doesn’t have an active flight plan, the lower left and right corners of the map will not show
these fields.
When the Toolbars are hidden, these on screen numbers are displayed with large / bold
letters. When the Toolbars are showing, the on-screen numbers use smaller letters.
For map screen customization instructions please reference the
