Navigation Map Page Operations

The following operations (see the G1000 Multi Func-
tion Display Pilot' s Guide for a full listing) can be per-
formed from the Navigation Map Page:
• Changing map feature settings of Traffic,
Topography, and Terrain: Pressing the MAP soft-
key makes available the traffic, topo (topographic),
and terrain features.
• Displaying Traffic on the Navigation Map Page:
Pressing the TRAFFIC softkey displays TIS Traffic
on the Navigation Map. Traffic symbology appears
next to the map range in the bottom right corner of
the display and indicates the presence of traffic data
on the map. This traffic capability enables the recep-
tion of the FAA TIS information, including location,
direction, altitude, and climb/descent information
of nearby aircraft. TIS displays traffic within seven
nautical miles from 3,000 feet below to 3,500 feet
above the requesting aircraft. Pressing the TRAFFIC
softkey again removes traffic data from the Map.
• Displaying Topographic data on the Navigation
Map Page: Pressing the TOPO softkey displays
topographical data on the Map Page. When TOPO
data is removed from the display, all cartographic
data is automatically removed and the Jeppesen Nav
Data is presented on a black background. Pressing
the TOPO softkey again switches the display back
to default map mode.
• Displaying Terrain data on the Navigation Map
Page: Pressing the TERRAIN softkey displays ter-
rain information on the Map Page using color-coded
red and yellow terrain tiles based upon the aircraft' s
current altitude. Terrain symbology appears next
to the map range in the bottom right corner of the
display and indicates the presence of terrain data on
the Map.

NOTE: Pressing TERRAIN again removes terrain
data from the Map.
Color scale interpretation is as follows:
• Red – land elevation is 100 feet above or
below the aircraft altitude.
• Yellow – land elevation is between 100 feet
and 1000 feet below the aircraft altitude.
• Black/Transparent – land elevation is over
1000 feet below the aircraft altitude.
• Setting the declutter level of the map: By
pressing the DCLTR softkey momentarily (or as
often as needed) to select the desired amount of
map detail. The declutter level appears on the
declutter softkey.
NOTE: Features will be decluttered automatically
at certain map ranges, depending on the "Map
Setup" configuration for each map feature.
