WEATHER:
Bring up the MAP screen. Under the SHOW softkey, there is a list of items to choose
from. (RADAR, SHADE, TERRAIN, WIND, METARS, etc.) Note that only one of the map features
can be selected; Radar information will replace Terrain because the color shading of both features
together is confusing. (On HXr, access SHOW softkey by pressing SCREEN, then MAP OPTIONS
softkeys.) When selected on the MAP screen, radar will also be displayed in the HXr map inset.
