Map Arrow
Map panning (Figure 5-11) moves the map beyond its current limits without adjusting the map range.
When the panning function is selected by pushing in the JOYSTICK, a map arrow flashes on the map
display. A window also appears at the top of the map display showing the latitude/longitude position of
the arrow, the bearing and distance to the pointer from the aircraft' s present position and the elevation of
the land at the position of the arrow. When the map arrow crosses an airspace boundary, the boundary is
highlighted and airspace information is shown at the top of the display. The information includes the name
and class of airspace, the ceiling in feet expressed in Mean Seal Level (MSL), and the floor in feet MSL.
Panning the map:
1) Push in the JOYSTICK to display the map arrow.
2) Move the JOYSTICK in the general direction of the desired destination to place the arrow at the destination
location. When the arrow is placed on an object, the name of the object is highlighted (even if the name was
not originally displayed on the map). This feature applies to everything displayed on the map except route lines.
When any map feature or object is selected on the map display, features or objects are displayed in the box located
at the top of the display. From here, the pilot can designate the waypoint as the direct-to destination. When the
arrow crosses an airspace boundary, the boundary is highlighted and airspace information is displayed at the
top of the display.
3) Push in the JOYSTICK to remove the arrow and return to the present position.
