GPS NAVIGATION

The following Inset Map operations can be performed (operations are performed independently of the MFD):

•Changing the zoom range

•Changing the declutter level

•Map panning

•Topo

•Traffic

•Terrain

•Stormscope

To change the Inset Map zoom range, turn the Joystick clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the range. Zoom ranges from 500 feet to 2,000 nm. To change the declutter level, press the INSET Softkey and press theDCLTR Softkey to remove background map details until the desired amount of detail is displayed. The declutter level appears in the Softkey (i.e., DCLTR-1).

Panning the map:

1)Push in the Joystick to display the map pointer. The map can now move beyond its current limits without adjusting the range.

2)Move the Joystick to pan the map in the general direction of the desired location. When the pointer is placed on an object, the name of the object is highlighted for approximately 4 seconds (even if the name was not originally displayed on the map). This feature applies to everything displayed on the map except for route lines.

3)Push in the Joystick to cancel the panning function and return to the present position on the map.
