Cursor

Pressing an arrow key turns on two dotted lines that intersect at the present
position symbol. These lines are called a "cursor" and have many uses. To
turn the cursor on, simply press the arrow key in the direction you want
the cursor to move. This lets you view areas on the map that are away
from your present position. The zoom-in and zoom-out keys work from
the cursor's position when it's active - not the present position. You can
zoom in on any detail, anywhere. You can also place icons and waypoints.
The cursor has an extremely useful feature that lets you identify airports,
VOR's, NDB's, intersections, and user-defined waypoints. In this example,
an airport is identified. First, move the cursor to the airport. When the
label on the airport is highlighted, press the WPT key. The waypoint screen
appears with the highlighted airport's data showing. You can navigate to
this airport by pressing the right arrow key, view other information by high-
lighting the "COMM FREQ", "RUNWAYS", or "SERVICES" labels. Press
the EXIT key to erase this screen. You can select another feature in the
same manner or press the EXIT key to erase the cursor. The unit centers
your present position on the screen after erasing the cursor.

MAP SYMBOLS

Airports, VORs, NDBs, and Intersections
All airports are shown as a square with its identifier beneath it. Larger
airports are shown the same way until you zoom in closer, then their
runways become visible. Zoom in farther, and the runway numbers also
appear. VOR's are shown as a circle with a dot inside, while NDB's have a
triangle. Intersections are depicted as an "X".
