You can also use the target crosshair as an instant

GOTO destination. This function will AutoStore the posi-
tion and set a course for a new waypoint called ‘MAP’.

To GOTO the target crosshair:

1. Press

G

to capture the position.

2. Press

E

to confirm the ‘MAP’ waypoint GOTO.

3. Press

Q

to return to the map page.

In saving the ‘MAP’ waypoint, be sure to rename it, as

it will be overwritten the next time a map GOTO is
executed.

Map Options

The last function you can perform from the map page

is map options, which lets you select what features are
displayed on the map, set the map orientation and man-
age the track log functions.

To access the map option function:

1. Highlight the ‘OPT’ field on the map page and press

E

.

The map option menu will appear, listing the follow-

ing options: map setup, waypoints, airspace and track log.

Map Orientation, Range Rings, and Track Log

The map option menu’s ‘MAP SETUP’ lets you turn

AutoZoom (see page 45), track log and range ring fea-
tures on or off and define a map orientation. The ‘MAP’
field lets you set the map to a north up, track up (the
direction of current travel) or a desired track up (the
direction of an active route leg) orientation.

The ‘RINGS’ field enables the on-screen range rings,

which help you estimate the distance to items depicted
on the map. The distance defined by each ring is deter-
mined by the current zoom scale. The ‘ROUTE’ field
allows you to display a solid course line connecting each
point along your route (or a single course line in the case
of a GOTO). The ‘TRACK LOG’ field turns display of
track log data on or off.

To set orientation, range rings, route line or track log:

1. Highlight the desired map display field setting and press

E

.

2. Use the up and down arrow keys to select the desired

setting, and press

E

.

Be sure to rename the
‘MAP’ waypoint if you want
to save it, as it will be over-
written when you perform
your next GOTO.

Map Option Menu

You may custom tailor the
map to your needs by
selecting from a variety of
changeable options which
are controlled from the
map option menu.
