Measure Dist— allows you to measure the bearing
and distance between any two points on the map display.
To measure bearing and distance between
two points:
1. Highlight ‘Measure Dist’ and press ENTER. An on-
screen pointer will appear on the map display at
your present position.
2. Move the panning arrow to the desired reference
point (the point you want to measure from) and
press ENTER.
3. Move the panning arrow to the point you want to
measure to. The bearing and distance from the
reference point will be displayed at the top of the
data window.
Nearest to Pntr— is used when the map pointer is
active. The nearest waypoint list will be displayed with all
the waypoints relative to the current map “Pointer”
location.
The Nearest to Pointer selection is gray on the menu
page as long as the map panning arrow is not used. Once
you move the arrow with the arrow keys, this menu
selection becomes active.
Map Setup— allows you to configure the map
display to your preferences, including map orientation,
land data enable/disable, Jeppesen data enable/disable,
automatic zoom, airspace boundaries, and text size. The
map setup option uses a ‘file tab’ feature, making it easier
to organize the various settings. Large airports are those
with a runway longer than 8000’. Medium airports are
those with a runway longer than 5000’ or with a control
tower. Large cities are those with approximate popula-
tions greater than 100,000 and medium cities are those
with approximate populations over 5,000.
When using the ‘Measure’
option, point to the location
you wish to measure
FROM and press ENTER.
Then point to the location
you wish to measure TO.
The bearing and distance
from the first reference
location will appear at the
top of the map display.
The MapSource Info
page lists any detailed
maps that have been
downloaded from the
optional MapSource
software package.
