Simulator

Selecting the Map Page

Press the PAGE

key repeatedly until the Map Page

appears. The Map Page combines digital charting and
Jeppesen data with a number of selectable features. The map
display shows your present position using an airplane icon in
the center of the screen. Map features such as lakes, rivers,
towns, railways, background roads and highways are shown
as well as nearby airports, navaids, airspace boundaries and
user waypoints. The map can be oriented with the top of the
map always pointing north (‘North Up’), oriented along your
desired course (‘Course Up’) or it can automatically rotate to
keep your current direction of travel at the top of the screen
(‘Track Up’). You can use the IN/OUT zoom keys to adjust
the map to the desired scale. The current scale is shown in
the lower left-hand corner of the display.

To change the map scale:

1. Press the zoom IN key to select a smaller map scale

and display a smaller geographic area.

2. Press the zoom OUT key to select a larger map scale

and display a larger geographic area.

Select a five mile scale by pressing the zoom IN or OUT

key repeatedly.

MapSource and Jeppesen databases are selectable as ON,

OFF or Air On/Gnd On. The Air On/Gnd On selection is the
default. When the unit is in the aircraft or automotive cradle
Air On or Gnd On, as appropriate are selected automatically.
