MAP PANNING
Map panning allows the pilot to:
•View parts of the map outside the displayed range without adjusting the map range
•Highlight and select locations on the map
•Review information for a selected airport, NAVAID or user waypoint
•Designate locations for use in flight planning
•View airspace and airway information
When the panning function is selected by pressing the Joystick, the Map Pointer flashes on the map display. A window also appears at the top of the map display showing the latitude/longitude position of the pointer, the bearing and distance to the pointer from the aircraft’s present position, and the elevation of the land at the position of the pointer.

NOTE: The map is normally centered on the aircraft’s position. If the map has been panned and there has been no pointer movement for about 60 seconds, the map reverts back to centered on the aircraft position and the flashing pointer is removed.
