key repeatedly until the Map Page
appears. The Map Page combines digital charting and
Jeppesen data with a number of selectable features. The map
display shows your present position using an airplane icon in
the center of the screen. Map features such as lakes, rivers,
towns, railways, background roads and highways are shown
as well as nearby airports, navaids, airspace boundaries and
user waypoints. The map can be oriented with the top of the
map always pointing north (‘North Up’), oriented along your
desired course (‘Course Up’) or it can automatically rotate to
keep your current direction of travel at the top of the screen
(‘Track Up’). You can use the
