if you want to continue your own navigation with a

regular runway extension.)

When you select Runway Guidance, the unit will display a localizer-

type fan and create a route automatically for guidance down the run-

way's extended centerline. Once selected, however, you are no longer

navigating your earlier route, because the AirMap assumes you are on

radar vectors or your own vectors to intercept final.

The HSI and all other CDI displays will now be set to the inbound

runway course and will give guidance to left or right of centerline via

the CDI display. However, the hollow (white) bearing arrow will con-

tinue to point to the runway touchdown zone (TDZ).

The automatic route will be created and set to track inbound on the

extended runway's centerline from any distance from the airport. If you

desire, you can navigate to the notch of the fan for an approximate five

mile final approach. Just press

When the Runway Approach Guidance feature is working, after pass-

airport center. After landing and turning the AirMap off, this tempo-

rary route is automatically deleted.

Tip:

For an even more complete runway guidance display, turn on the

"Markers" (outer marker) subcategory in the Aviation category. See

the Map Categories Drawn topic for more information.
