MAP MODE WITH NAV INFORMATION
This section applies to
Internal GPS mode only.
Whenever a Flight Plan is
active or you have called
for a DIRECT TO, the
map will have extra navi-
gation information added
to it and will resemble
Screen 47. Alternatively
you may have selected
one of the other NAV
Modes detailed in the
NAV Menu Screens
Section of this manual.
The same navigation data
is presented on all the
alternative screens in different ways. The following text refers to the
standard NAV Mode Screen setting (TOPO ON, SMALL TEXT).
Alternative Screens 47A and 47B are discussed at the end of this sec-
tion.
If the TOPO OFF, SMALL TEXT mode is selected, the map will display
aeronautical data only on a black background.
The Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) at the bottom right of the map can
be switched ON or OFF or be set to work numerically and the Full Scale
Deflection (FSD) selected on Screen 23, NAV Mode Customization
Screen. If you have selected the CDI alarm ON, when the last element
of the CDI bar graph comes on (or when the full scale value as set on
Screen 23 is reached) the internal and external alarms (if switched on)
will beep at a rate of 2Hz for 5 seconds.
Key 5 will change to ALARM OFF and if you press this before the 5 sec-
onds are up this will silence the alarm. When the alarm switches off
automatically after 5 seconds, Key 5's label will go blank and have no
function for 2 seconds then revert to DIRECT TO (or DIRECT TO OFF).
This is to make sure you don't inadvertently select or cancel DIRECT TO
mode if you press this key just as it is canceling automatically. The CDI
alarm resets itself as soon as you come back within the full scale set. It
will then be reactivated whenever the full scale is exceeded again.
The box at the bottom left of the map window shows the destination point
when you are in DIRECT TO Mode preceded by the "DIRECT TO"
symbol or the FROM and TO waypoints when you are in Flight Plan
Mode. If the destination point has no name the text TEMP WPT will be
shown.
A great deal of other navigation information is available to you above and
below the map. Starting at the top of the screen on the left hand side you
