Flight Planning GPS Navigation Overview

GPS Navigation

When the panning function is selected by pressing the FMS Joystick (PAN MAP Softkey on the Weather Page) 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, the elevation of the land at the position of the pointer, or the object’s (airports, obstacles, etc) elevation, if known.

When the Map Pointer is placed on a map feature, the map feature is highlighted and an information box appears (even if the name was not originally displayed on the map).

Pressing the ENT Key displays a review page for the highlighted map feature. If multiple features are present at the Map Pointer position, a green arrow will appear in the information box. Turning the FMS Joystick will cycle through the list of map features present at that position.
