Mini-X Installation, Setup & User Manual                                                                                                      GRT Avionics

Revision A9                                                                                                                                                                         57

6.4.3  Map Background Options

The SHOW softkey lets the pilot choose one of several mapping data sets to display on the map.

SHADE

- Displays topography shading similar to that shown on a VFR Sectional chart. The data

is derived from the internal synthetic vision database. See Map Topography Shading below for
more information.

TERRAIN

- Uses the base SHADE topography and adds yellow and red coloring as a visual terrain

proximity warning.

NONE

- Displays default map settings as defined in the Moving Map setup menu. Shows  basic

map background (either olive or black, as set up in Section 6.3.4) with no topography shading.

6.4.4  Map Topography Shading

The  SHADE  option  under  the  SHOW  menu  colors  the

map according to the Topography Shading Color Key
shown  to  the  right.  The  base  colors  are  enhanced  by
shadows in mountainous terrain to give the map texture
and bring attention to the mountain peaks. Elevations
are derived  from the internal synthetic vision database.

6.4.5  Display of Fixes

The  FIX  softkey  allows  you  to  choose  which  fixes    to

display on screen for decluttering purposes.
