The moving map screens represent graphic views of your navigation progress in a format easy to interpret while flying. Note that the display orientation may be changed so that the top of the may be north, desired track, or track. The map setup option, described in Section 4, explains how to change the orientation.

Zooming The moving map screens feature a handy zoom function to In or Out allow you to enhance your view of navigation progress.

Zoom in or out by turning the SMALL knob. Zooming in changes the view to enlarge map detail, as if the airplane symbol was flying at a lower altitude over the map surface.

Similarly, zooming out allows a view of greater distance around the airplane symbol, as if the airplane was flying higher over the map. As you zoom in or out, the map scale changes to show the new distance represented between the airplane symbol and the top border of the display. Zooming in close to airport waypoints enables you to see your orientation in relation to available runways.
