Position Page
The GPS 92’s position page displays your present lat-
itude, longitude and altitude, along with your current
track and speed over the ground. The top of the page also
features a graphic heading indicator, which displays your
ground track as you’re moving. The time of day, displayed
in UTC (zulu) or local time, is indicated near the bottom
of the page.
Most of your in-flight navigation with the GPS 92 will
center around the navigation and moving map pages.
Now that we’re on our way, let’s move on to the map page
by pressing
P

Moving Map Page
The GPS 92’s moving map page provides extensive
capabilities and information on your present position,
nearby facilities and waypoints, and your active route.
Let’s zoom in for a closer look at our progress:
1. Highlight the ‘ZM’ (zoom) field—it may be already be
highlighted—and press
E
.
2. Press the down arrow key (as often as needed) to change
the scale to the 30nm setting, and press
E
to confirm.
At the 30nm scale, you’ll be able to see your plane,
nearby airports and airspace boundaries. The line up the
center of the page represents the track-up route from
your starting point (50R) to the destination airport (3R9),
with your present position indicated by the plane icon.
Notice that your plane remains centered on the map,
while nearby waypoints pass by, based upon your present
speed and track.
The position page features a
resettable trip odometer to
keep track of your distance
traveled. The trip odometer
is resettable, allowing you
to keep track of distance
traveled from a starting
point which you specify.
Other options are also
available to display average
speed (AVSPD), maximum
speed (MXSPD), trip time
(TTIME) and elapsed time
(ELPSD).
