pages, is a user-selectable field that allows you to dis-
play a variety of navigation values for your trip.

2. Use the keypad to scroll through the possible options.
The following data options are available for the
Navigation Pages:
Estimated Time Enroute (ETE)— the estimated
time remaining to reach your destination based on
your present speed and track.
Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA)— the estimat-
ed time of day at which you will arrive at your desti-
nation based on current ground speed and track.
Course to Steer (CTS)— the recommended
course to follow in order to reduce cross track error
and stay on course. Provides the most efficient
heading to get back on course and proceed along
your route or GOTO.
Crosstrack Error (XTK)— the distance you are
off the desired course in either direction, left or
right. This field will give you a digital readout of the
data depicted by the CDI.
Velocity Made Good (VMG)— the speed you
are closing in on a destination along the desired
course. Also referred to as the ‘vector velocity’ to
your destination.
Turn (TRN)— the angle difference between the
bearing to your destination and your current track.
‘L’ indicates you should turn left, ‘R’ indicates you
should turn right.
