The GNS 530’s display is divided into four separate
windows (or display areas). The left side of the display
provides a COM Window (top two lines) and a VLOC
window (by default with VOR ident/radial, but selectable
for other data). The right side of the display consists
of a GPS Window, which shows the various navigation,
waypoint information and settings pages. The bottom of
the display is used for annunciators.
