5.2 USING MAP DISPLAYS
Map displays are used extensively in the G950 to provide situational awareness in flight. Most G950 maps can
display the following information:
• Airports, NAVAIDs, airspaces, airways,
land data (highways, cities, lakes, rivers,
borders, etc.) with names
• Map Pointer information (distance and
bearing to pointer, location of pointer,
name, and other pertinent information)
• Map range
• Flight plan legs
•Wind direction and speed
• User waypoints
• Map orientation
• Track vector
• Icons for enabled map features
• Topography scale
• Aircraft icon (representing present position)
• Topography data
• Nav range ring
• Obstacle data
• Fuel range ring
The information in this section applies to the following maps unless otherwise noted:
• All Map Group Pages (MAP)
• Flight Plan Pages (FPL)
• All Waypoint Group Pages (WPT)
• Direct-to Window
• AUX - Trip Planning
• PFD Inset Map
• All Nearest Group Pages (NRST)
• Procedure Loading Pages
MAP ORIENTATION
Maps are shown in one of four different orientation options, allowing flexibility in determining aircraft
position relative to other items on the map (north up) or for determining where map items are relative to where
the aircraft is going (track up, desired track up, or heading up). The map orientation is shown in the upper
right corner of the map.
Figure 5-3 Map Orientation
• North up (NORTH UP) aligns the top of the map display to north (default setting).
• Track up (TRK UP) aligns the top of the map display to the current ground track.
• Desired track up (DTK UP) aligns the top of the map display to the desired course.
• Heading up (HDG UP) aligns the top of the map display to the current aircraft heading.
