The ‘Measure Dist?’ option provides a quick, easy
method for determining the bearing and distance between
any two points on the Map Display.
Measuring bearing and distance between
two points:

right
knob to highlight ‘Measure Dist?’ (Figure 2-21).

pointer appears on the Map Display at the
present position.
3) Turn the small and large
right
knobs to place
the reference pointer at the desired location to

4) Again, use the small and large
right
knobs
to place the reference pointer at the desired
location to measure TO. The bearing and
distance from the first reference location
appears at the top of the Map Display.
5) To exit the ‘Measure Dist?’ option, press the
small
right
knob.
Adding Data Fields to the Map
The ‘Data Fields On?’ option provides a Map Display
(Figure 2-23) with five user-selectable
data fields along the
right-hand side of the screen. Select this option to display
additional on-screen data such as destination waypoint
name (WPT), desired track (DTK), groundtrack (TRK),
distance to destination (DIS), and ground speed (GS). If
this option has been selected and the data fields are being
displayed, ‘Data Fields Off?’ appears as an option instead.
Figure 2-23 Map Display with Data Fields On
To turn the data fields off/on:
From the Map Page Menu, turn the large
right
knob to highlight ‘Data Fields On?’ (or ‘Data
Fields Off?’) and press the
ENT
Key.
