Figure 5-18 Measure Bearing/Distance Option
The second map setup option is ‘Measure Bearing/Distance’ (Figure 5-18), which provides a quick and
easy method for determining the bearing and distance between any two points on the Navigation Map.
Measuring bearing and distance between two points:
1) Press the MENU Key (with the Navigation Map Page displayed).
2) Highlight the ‘Measure Bearing/Distance’ field.
3) Press the ENT Key. A reference arrow is displayed on the map at the aircraft’s present position and the window
shown in Figure 5-19 is displayed.
4) Move the joystick to place the reference arrow at the desired location. As the arrow is being moved, a dashed
line is drawn from the reference (starting) point to its present position. The bearing and distance from the
starting point is displayed along with the new coordinates. Elevation at the current position is also displayed
(Figure 5-19). Pressing the
ENT Key changes the starting point for measuring.
5) To exit the Measure Bearing/Distance option, push in the joystick or select ‘Stop Measuring’ from the page
menu and press the ENT Key.
