less than 500 feet above or below an airspace and
projected to enter it, you will be notified with an
alert message. The default setting is 200 feet.
Units / Position
— allows you to configure the
displayed data to standard or metric units of mea-
sure. This setting applies to distance, speed, alti-
tude, fuel, pressure and temperature. Also provided
are two magnetic variation (heading) options: Auto
or True. If “Auto” is selected, all track, course and
heading information is corrected to the magnetic
variation computed by the GPS receiver. The “True”
setting references all information to true north.
Use the Units / Position Page to switch
distance and speed measurements between
Nautical, Statute and Metric units.
Configuration settings for position format and map
datum are also provided. Position formats include
latitude/longitude, MGRS and UTM/UPS. The
NavData
®
card uses the WGS 84 map datum to
conform to WAAS requirements.
Date / Time
— provides settings for time format
(local or UTC; 12- or 24-hour) and time offset. The
time offset is used to define current local time. UTC
(also called “GMT” or “zulu”) date and time are cal-
culated directly from the GPS satellites’ signals and
cannot be changed. If you prefer to use local time,
simply designate the offset by adding or subtracting
the correct number of hours.
Not all time zones are offset from UTC by a whole
number of hours (e.g., Newfoundland, Central
Australia, India, Iraq, ...)
The Date / Time Page allows you to display
time information (such as ETA) in UTC (zulu)
or local time.
Display Backlight
— allows you to adjust the
display for optimum viewing in any condition.
Automatic backlighting is available which uses a
built-in photocell (at the top right corner of the dis-
play bezel) to make the proper display adjustments
without any user intervention. You may select
manual control of the display backlighting to tailor
the 500W-series unit display to your needs.
NOTE:
Display backlighting changes are not
saved when the 500W-series unit is turned off.
Backlighting reverts to the “Auto” setting the
next time the unit is turned on.
Nearest Airport Criteria
— defines the mini-
mum runway length and surface type used when
determining the 25 nearest airports to display on
the Nearest Airport Page. A minimum runway
length and/or surface type may be entered to
prevent airports with small runways, or runways
that are not of appropriate surface, from being dis-
played. The default settings are “0 feet (or meters)”
