Map Pointer
Map panning (Figure 5-19) moves the map beyond its current limits without adjusting the map range.
When the panning function is selected by pushing in the Joystick, the Map Pointer flashes on the map
display. A window also appears at the top of the map display showing the latitude/longitude position of the
Map Pointer, the bearing and distance to the pointer from the aircraft' s present position and the elevation
of the land at the position of the Map Pointer. When the Map Pointer 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 Sea Level (MSL), and the floor
in feet MSL.
Panning the map:
1) Push the Joystick to display the Map Pointer.
2) Move the Joystick in the general direction of the desired destination to place the Map Pointer at the destination
location. When the Map Pointer 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 waypoint as the direct-to destination. When the
Map Pointer crosses an airspace boundary, the boundary is highlighted and airspace information is displayed
at the top of the display.
3) Push the Joystick to remove the Map Pointer and re-center the map on the aircraft's current position.
