VOR information detail
The GMX 200 supports full integration with the
GNS 480, CNX80, and SL30 Nav/Com. This fea-
ture allows tuned VORs along with ILS and localizer
approaches to be shown on the GMX 200 moving
map. This high level of integration is designed to
provide additional, simple to interpret situational
awareness during high work-load phases of flight.
The graphic display of Nav/Comm information on
the GMX 200 provides another source to help make
sure you are using the intended navigational aid and
your To/From orientation to the reference station is as
desired.
You can turn the display of VOR and ILS informa-
tion in the Custom Map page on or off. VOR and ILS
information is always shown in the IFR and VFR Chart
functions. VOR symbols on an airway are always dis-
played when Low Airways or High Airways is selected.
VOR Highlight
The GMX 200 highlights the VOR in magenta on
the moving map when the SL30 is either tuned to or
monitoring a nearby VOR station. The highlighted
VOR station is determined by using the tuned or
monitored VOR frequency of the SL30 with the GMX
200 internal database.
Custom Map information when connected to SL30
The SL30 must be receiving a valid signal from the
VOR.
The VOR information detail for the selected VOR
will show the distance and radial-from bearing between
your present position and the VOR. The radial and dis-
tance information comes from your GPS, not the SL30.
The GMX 200 must have VOR symbols turned on
for this feature to be active in the Custom Map func-
tion. VOR information is always shown in the IFR and
VFR Chart functions.
Vor oBS
The OBS (Omni-Bearing Selector) value selected
in the SL30 will be shown as a line from the tuned
VOR station in magenta on the GMX 200 display. The
selected value will be shown on the line. This feature
provides a quick view of your position relative to both
the VOR and the tuned radial to help improve situ-
ational awareness. The OBS line will only be drawn
from the active VOR, not the monitored VOR.
The SL30 must be receiving a valid signal from
the VOR and the GMX 200 must have VOR symbols
turned on for this feature to be active.
