Displaying NEXRAD Data on the Map Page

When NEXRAD data is received, it is displayed on the Map Page, in addition to the Weather Page and
the default NAV Page.

Customizing NEXRAD Data on the Map Page

You can customize NEXRAD data on the Map Page by using the Page Menu.
To customize the Map Page:
1. Go to the Map Page in the NAV Page Group.
2. Press MENU and select 'Setup Map?' from the page menu.
3. Select 'Weather' from the GROUP field in the Map Setup window.
4. Highlight the NEXRAD SMBL field, and use the small right knob to set the desired map range at which to
overlay NEXRAD data. The range values are 'Off' to 2000 nm miles. Press ENT for the desired range selec-
tion. Press CLR to go back to the Map Page.
5. Highlight the NEXRAD DENSITY field, use the small right knob to set the density desired (i.e., the
transparency) of the NEXRAD cells. The density values are LOW-MED-HIGH. Press ENT for your selection
then CLR to go back to the Map Page.

NOTE: If the pilot changes the NEXRAD DENSITY and/or NEXRAD SMBL fields, these set-
tings changes also affect the Weather page. For example, if the pilot selects 'Low' NEXRAD
DENSITY, both the Weather Page and the Map Page display the NEXRAD graphics in the
'Low' mode.
The pilot may use the 'NEXRAD Off?' and 'NEXRAD On?' fields in the Page
Menu to turn off the display of NEXRAD data from the Map Page.
