2 NAV PAGES
Position Page
Position Page
The position page (the fourth NAV page) displays your present position (by default, in
latitude and longitude) and altitude. The position page also displays your current track,
ground speed, time and a reference waypoint fi eld. These fi elds are user-selectable to
confi gure the page to your own preferences and current navigation needs.
The graphic “track” indicator at the top of the page indicates the direction you’re
heading, or track, only while you’re moving. Directly below are three user-selectable
fi elds, which by default, display track, ground speed and altitude. Barometric pressure
(BARO) settings and minimum safe altitude (MSA) can also be displayed on these fi elds.
MSA is the recommended minimum altitude within approximately ten miles of your
present position. MSA is calculated from the information contained in the database and
generally includes mountains, buildings and other permanent features.
