Custom Map
Custom Map (MAP)
The Custom Map function provides a graphic
display of map features in relation to the aircraft loca-
tion to help improve situational awareness. Review
the Limitations section in the front of this guide that
apply to using data displayed on the moving map.
The custom map function is unique in allowing you to
selectively “overlay” all available types of information
onto a single display. Press the
MENU/ENT
key to
display a list of options on the right side of the screen.
Press the
Menu Item
key next to the displayed option.
Repeated presses of the
Menu Item
key will scroll
through the available selections for each option. Turn-
ing on too many layers may clutter the display.
The “smart” keys at the bottom of the display over
the function keys control the map scale by zooming
in or out, moving the map view around with the Pan
feature, and viewing Info about the current destination
waypoint.
Initial Zoom Level
The initial zoom level that is used on start-up is
determined by a setting made in the System Function.
Map Scale
The In and Out function keys control the map
scale by zooming in and out. You can zoom in to 0.25
NM and zoom out to 1250 NM. The scale distance is
measured from the location of your aircraft symbol to
the top of the screen. The Map Scale is shown in the
lower left corner of the screen. The map orientation
appears above the map scale.

Auto Zoom
Auto Zoom is activated by adjusting the zoom level
to the far extremes of the zoom range. When activated,
the indicated zoom level will change from a number to
the text “A,” followed by the zoom scale.
While in the Auto Zoom mode, the screen will
automatically adjust the current zoom level to main-
tain the current “TO” waypoint on the screen. When
approaching the waypoint, the zoom level will not
drop below 2 NM. When the waypoint is reached and
the next waypoint in the flight plan becomes active,
the zoom level will automatically adjust to bring that
waypoint on the map.
When installed with a GNS 480-series GPS
receiver, the GMX 200 zoom level can be controlled
by the GNS 480. This feature must be enabled in the
System function with the “Slave Zoom to GPS Zoom”
setting enabled.
To exit the autozoom mode, simply increase or
decrease the current zoom level to re-enter the manual
adjust mode.
