Clearing On-Screen Weather Data
‘Clear Storm Data?’ removes storm history information
from the map. New storm data appears as detected and
relayed by a connected weather data source. Weather data
and the ‘Clear Storm Data?’ option are only available when
the GPS 500 installation includes connection to weather
information sources. See the 400/500 Series Display
Interfaces Pilot’s Guide Addendum (190-00140-10) or
Section 12 of this Pilot’s Guide.
Selecting Desired On-Screen Data
‘Change Fields?’ allows selection of the data displayed
on the five user-selectable data fields along the right-
hand side of the Map Page. There are sixteen available
data types, including bearing to destination, distance
to destination, estimated time of arrival, ground speed,
minimum safe altitude, and track. See Section 14.3 for
descriptions of these (and other) navigation terms.

1) From the Map Page Menu, turn the large right
knob to highlight ‘Change Fields?’ (Figure
