Viewing Flitecharts And Chartview - Garmin G500H Pilot's Manual

The optional Garmin Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT™) is a visual
enhancement to the G500H. SVT is displayed as a forward-looking display of
the topography immediately in front of the aircraft. SVT information is shown
on the primary flight display (PFD).

Viewing FliteCharts and ChartView

When the Chart function is available, charts will be shown on the third page
of the Flight Plan page group. The chart page will default to the nearest airport
if no flight plan or destination airport is present. While you are on the ground,
the displayed charts will default to the current airport location regardless of
flight plan.
Both ChartView and FliteCharts may be geo-referenced. The icon will have
an "x" through it the selected chart does not support geo-referencing.
NOTE: The availability of SafeTaxi, ChartView, or FliteCharts in electronic
form may not preclude the requirement to carry paper charts aboard the
aircraft. See the AFMS for more information.
NOTE: The Chart feature provides a digital representation of a paper
chart and provides no vertical or lateral course guidance. Flight Plan and
Procedures are separate from Charts, and do provide vertical and lateral
course guidance for the loaded route or procedure shown on the Flight
Plan page. The term "Chart Unavailable" means that the chart cannot be
viewed on the Charts due to either a chart not being published, or an error
in the Chart database, but does not preclude its availability or inclusion of
the procedure in the Flight Plan or Procedures portion of the system. The
absence of a chart for a particular Departure, Arrival, or Approach does
not preclude its availability or inclusion in the Flight Plan. The absence of
a particular Departure, Arrival, or Approach under the Flight Plan does not
preclude the ability to view the Chart.
NOTE: Do not use SafeTaxi or Chartview functions as the basis for ground
maneuvering. SafeTaxi and Chartview functions do not comply with the
requirements of AC 20-159 and are not qualified to be used as an airport
moving map display (AMMD). SafeTaxi and Chartview are to be used by
the flight crew to orient themselves on the airport surface to improve pilot
situational awareness during ground operations.
