Now press the right arrow key. A screen similar to the one below appears. Press the EXIT key to erase the menu.

The other boxes show navigation data when a waypoint is recalled, including bearing to the waypoint (BRG), dis- tance to waypoint (DIS), velocity made good (VMG), estimated time en route (ETE), local time (CLOCK), and a CDI.The CDI is a course deviation indicator, showing your distance to the left or right of the desired course.

You can reprogram all of the digital boxes on the NAV 2 screen. See the "Programming" section for more information.

COURSE DEVIATION INDICATOR (CDI) The CDI shows your distance to the left or right of the desired course to a waypoint. (In order to use the CDI, you must first recall a waypoint or route. See the Navigation section for more details.) The arrow in the center of the box

shows the direction to the destination. For example, if you’re travelling straight towards the waypoint, the arrow points straight up. If you turn to the right, the arrow points to the left, showing that the destination is to your left.
