The box marked POS: will display your present position as a distance
and cardinal bearing from the nearest item in the database. The geo-
graphical item used to describe your position to you is chosen on the
basis of the POSITION REF: setting on Screen 22, Map Customization
Screen.
If you have chosen VORs as the position reference on Screen 22, your
position will be reported as a distance (range) and bearing from the
nearest VOR. If you have chosen VORs & AIRPORTS as the position
reference on Screen 22 and your position is within 5nm of an airport,
your position will be reported as a distance and bearing from that airport
even if there is a VOR nearer (i.e. airports have priority). If there is no
airport within 5nm then your position will be reported with respect to the
nearest VOR or airport.
If you have chosen ALL DATA as the position reference on Screen 22
and your position is within 5nm of an airport, your position will be
reported as a distance and bearing from that airport, even if there are
nearer VORs, NDBs, towns, VRPs or waypoints. If there is no airport
within 5nm then your position will be reported with respect to the nearest
airport, VOR, NDB, VRP, town or waypoint.
All airport names are shown preceded by an asterisk character (*)
in order to distinguish them from towns or cities with similar
names, which may have significantly different locations.
At the bottom left hand corner of the display you will also see a Scale Bar
showing a measurement. The measurement may be in nautical miles,
statute miles or kilometers depending on the map units, which you have
selected from Screen 22. Map Customization Screen.
Pressing Key 4 will take you to Screen 41, the NAV Menu Cover Screen
(or MAP Menu Cover Screen if external GPS). Pressing Key 5 will take
you to Screen 13 from which you can select a DIRECT TO destination (if
internal GPS).
Under normal circumstances, you will not see any joystick pointer on
Screen 38. However, if you do move the joystick, a pointer will appear
just beside your present position icon and the display will change to
Screen 39.
