Display Units
The Display Units section of the System Setup Page
allows you to configure the displayed data to standard or
metric units of measure. The Display Units section also
provides two magnetic variation (heading) options: True
and Auto. If 'Auto' is selected, all track, course and heading
information is corrected to the computed magnetic
variation. The "True" setting references all information to
true north.
The Display Units section of the System Setup Page
displays the following data:
The aviation database contains over 100 map datums
to adjust your position reading, making it conform to
specific paper charts. The default datum setting is WGS
84. If you are using a chart based on another datum, you
should set the G1000 to use the same datum. Using a map
datum that does not match the charts you are using can
result in significant differences in position information.
If you are using the paper charts for reference only, the
G1000 still provides correct navigation guidance to the
waypoints contained in the database, regardless of the da-
tum selected.
