FliteChart
— The feature provides the capability
to view Garmin electronic charts. Depending on the
charts available in the database, the following chart
types may be viewed: Approach charts, airport surface
charts, SIDS, STARS, Airspace Charts alternate mini-
mums, and take-off minimums.
Geo-Referenced
— a proper relationship is estab-
lished between displayed information and real-world
coordinates. For instance, the ChartView charts are
geo-referenced because they are correctly oriented on
the map display in relationship to actual coordinates.
Ownship
— Your aircraft. A variety of symbols are
available to represent your aircraft on the display.
SafeTaxi
— The Garmin SafeTaxi airport dia-
grams help pilots navigate unfamiliar airports with
confidence. Over 650 U.S. airport diagrams come
pre-loaded on the unit. The charts identify runways,
taxiways, and hangars, as well as the aircraft’s location
on the field.
Speed
—Display rate of travel in miles/kilometers/
nautical miles per hour.
Time
—The time for the selected time zone.
Track
— The direction of movement relative to a
ground position. Also referred to as “ground track.”
Waypoint (Destination)

Advisories and Alerts

accompanied by visual acquisition of the traffic or
terrain and no aircraft maneuvering is allowed based
upon data presented by the GMX 200.
Altitude
—Height above mean sea level (MSL).
Back Course
— Localizer backcourse approach
where the signal on the “back” side of the localizer is
used for alignment to the runway opposite of normal
localizer alignment. Without compensation the CDI
would reverse sense.

a destination.
Coasting
— With regard to TIS, coasting indicates
that a radar sweep was missed and displayed data is
not the latest.
Course
—The direction from your starting location to
a destination.
Decluttering
— Reduction in displayed elements on
the moving map at higher zoom scales.
Distance (Destination)
— The “great circle” distance
from current location to a Go To destination, or the
final waypoint in a route.
Distance (Next)
— The “great circle” distance from
current location to a Go To destination, or the next
waypoint in a route.
Elevation
