Enroute
When enroute, the Pathway will be displayed along the lateral path defined
by the flight plan, at the altitude selected on the G1000 altitude selector.
Flight plan changes in altitude that require a climb will be indicated by the
Pathway being displayed as a level path at the altitude entered for the
current flight plan leg. Because the G1000 system does not have
information available to it about aircraft performance, climb profiles are not
displayed by the Pathway.
If the programmed flight plan includes one or more defined VNAV descent
segments, the descent path(s) will be displayed by the Pathway as
prompted by the G1000 FMS.
If the flight plan includes a significant change in course at a waypoint, the
Pathway boxes toward the currently active waypoint will be magenta in
color. The boxes defining the next flight plan segment may be visible, but
will be displayed in a white color.

Approach
During approach, the SVS and Pathway displays should only be used to
maintain awareness with regard to the surrounding terrain and the
programmed flight path. Primary aircraft control must be accomplished by
reference to the primary flight instruments and, if desired, the flight
director.

GPS approach
During a GPS approach, the lateral path and altitude will be displayed by
the Pathway in magenta along each segment including the path required
to track course reversals that are part of the approach procedure (such as
a holding pattern). Approach descent segments will be displayed by the
Pathway as published in the approach procedure.
If Vectors--To--Final is selected as the approach transition, the Pathway
will display the final approach course inbound to the Missed Approach
Point (MAP). The Pathway will be shown level at the altitude set in the
G1000 altitude selector, or the Final Approach Fix (FAF) crossing altitude
(whichever is higher), up to the point along the final approach course
where that altitude intercepts the extended VPTH or GP. If the altitude
selector indicates an altitude below the airplane’s current altitude, the
Pathway will appear below the airplane altitude and the pilot must use
normal descent techniques to intercept the VPTH or GP.
