GPS NAVIGATION
• The time out time (configurable on the Map Setup page for the "Map" group) determines the amount of
time that auto zoom is allowed to be overridden by a manual adjustment of the range knob unless the
time out value is zero, in which case the override condition never times out.
Final Flight Plan Waypoints
The map adjusts to display any ranges between and including the maximum look forward time (as
described below for "Other Waypoints") and a default minimum map range of 1.5 nm or 3 km (depending
on system units) when the active waypoint is valid, the final waypoint in the flight plan, and is an airport
or airport runway waypoint. If a direct-to waypoint outside of the active flight plan is activated the new
active waypoint is considered as the final waypoint in the flight plan.
Missed Approach Point Waypoints
The map adjusts to display any ranges between and including a default maximum map range of
2000 nm or 4000 km (depending on system units) and a default minimum map range of 1.5 nm or 3
km (depending on system units) when the active waypoint is valid and is the missed approach point
waypoint.
Other Waypoints
The zoom range is determined based upon the following minimum and maximum look forward time
combinations when the active waypoint is a valid waypoint other than the final flight plan waypoint or
the missed approach point waypoint:
• When the maximum look forward time is greater than the minimum look forward time settings, the
map adjusts to display any zoom ranges between and including the maximum look forward time and
the minimum look forward time.
• When the maximum look forward time is equivalent to the minimum look forward time setting, the
map adjusts to display the minimum look forward time.
• When the maximum look forward time is set to zero, the map adjusts to display any zoom ranges
between and including a default maximum map range of 2000 nm or 4000 km (depending on system
units) and the minimum look forward time.
• When the minimum look forward time is set to zero, the map adjusts to display any zoom ranges
between and including the maximum look forward time and a default minimum map range of 1.5 nm
or 3 km (depending on system units).
When both the minimum and maximum look forward times are set to zero, the map adjusts to display
between and including a default maximum map range of 2000 nm or 4000 km (depending on system
units) and a default minimum map range of 1.5 nm or 3 km (depending on system units). A non-zero
maximum look forward time setting less than the minimum look forward time setting is prevented.
Zoom Range Transitions - Auto Zoom In
The map zooms in as long as the following conditions are true:
• The active waypoint is visible on the map in a lower zoom range or the current zoom range exceeds the
maximum zoom range.
• The current zoom range exceeds the minimum zoom range.
