NOTE: If the GNS 530 is unable to determine
a GPS position, the present position (airplane)
symbol does not appear on the Map Page.
Different symbols are used to distinguish between
waypoint types. The identifiers for any on-screen
waypoints can also be displayed. (The identifiers are
enabled by default.) Special-use and controlled airspace
boundaries appear on the map, showing the individual
sectors for Class B, Class C, and Class D airspaces.
Table 3-3 shows the symbols used to depict the various
airports and NAVAIDS on the Map Page:
