The MFD displays a full-color moving map with navigation information.
Moving map information is shown on the two Navigation Map pages and the
optional Weather (WX) pages (requires GDL 69/69A and XM weather subscription
or the GWX 68 Weather Radar). The Navigation Map displays aviation data
(e.g., airports, VORs, airways, airspaces), geographic data (e.g., cities, lake,
highways, borders), topographic data (map shading indicating elevation),
and hazard data (e.g., traffic, terrain, weather). The map options set for
Navigation Map page 1 are used as the default settings for the optional
Weather (WX) pages. The amount of displayed data can be reduced by
pressing the DCLTR soft key. The Navigation Map can be oriented four
different ways: North Up (NORTH UP), Track Up (TRACK UP), Desired
Track Up (DTK UP), or Heading Up (HDG UP).

The nose of the aircraft icon is placed on the Navigation Map at the location
corresponding to the calculated present position. The aircraft position and
the flight plan legs are based on information received from the currently
selected GPS navigator. The leg of the active flight plan currently being
flown is shown as a magenta line on the navigation map. The other legs are
shown in white.
