If the Map Page is not currently displayed, press PAGE (repeatedly) until the
Map Page appears.

The Map Page shows your movement using a real-time track log (an electronic breadcrumb trail

that appears directly on the map as you’re traveling), and your present position as an airplane icon in
the center of the map. The Map Page also shows any nearby airspace boundaries, lakes, rivers, highways
and towns. The map scale is shown in the lower left-hand corner of the map. Use the Zoom keys (

IN

and

OUT

) to adjust the map to the desired scale.

To change the map scale:

1. Press the 

IN

 zoom key to display more detail for a smaller area.

2. Press the 

OUT

zoom key to display a larger area.

The map can be oriented with the top of the page always pointing north, oriented along your

desired course, or it can automatically rotate to keep your current direction of travel (track) at the top
of the screen. ‘North Up’ is the factory default setting. (When using ‘Track Up’, look for the north
direction indicator in the top left corner of the page. Nearby airports, VORs, NDBs, intersections and
user-created waypoints are depicted on the map, each with its own unique symbol, with the identifier
listed directly above the waypoint’s symbol.

The right side of the Map Page shows a graphic HSI (default setting). The features of the HSI are

described on the following page. You can also show a larger map, without HSI, as illustrated at right.

The

ENTER

 key allows you to quickly declutter the map.

Press 

ENTER

 (repeatedly) to cycle through four levels of

map detail. Note the depiction of airspace boundaries and the
VORTAC adjacent to ‘KMGE’ in this decluttering example.

You can also select a full screen map (using the 

MENU

 key).

In this example, a ‘Track Up’ orientation has been selected.
Notice the location of the present position “airplane” symbol
shifts toward the bottom of the screen and a north direction
indicator appears at the top left corner.
