Map Page

The Map Page shows your movement and surround-

ing detail (lakes, rivers, highways and towns). Your
present position is identified by an airplane icon in the
center of the map. You can use the Zoom/Volume keys to
adjust the map range (800 feet to 500 miles).

To change the map range:

1. Press the IN zoom key (down arrow) to select a

smaller range and more detail for a smaller area.

2. Press the OUT zoom key (up arrow) to select a

larger range and display a larger area.

Nearby waypoints are depicted on the map with any

one of over 40 different symbols, with the waypoint name
shown directly above the symbol. More about the
NavTalk Pilot’s waypoint features and the Map Page is
covered in the reference section, including how to change
the map orientation if you desire.

HSI Page

The NavTalk Pilot features two different navigation

pages: HSI (horizontal situation indicator) and Highway
page. The HSI Page is first.

The HSI Page provides graphic steering guidance to a

destination waypoint, with an emphasis on the bearing to
your destination and current direction of travel. (The
Highway page also provides graphic steering guidance by
displaying a three-dimensional perspective of your course
and the surrounding area.) The HSI graphically depicts a
mechanical HSI, showing the desired course using a
‘D-bar’ (course deviation bar; which is part of the course
deviation indicator, or ‘CDI’) and course pointer. If you
move off course, the D-bar will indicate off course
distance and direction. To return to the desired course,
simply steer in the direction of the D-bar until it returns
to the center of the CDI. The CDI scale is adjustable, with
the current scale indicated at the bottom of the page. The
scale setting represents the distance from the center of the
CDI to full left or right limits.
