ChartView (CHART) Function (Optional)

The optional GMX 200 ChartView feature provides
the capability to view Jeppesen Sanderson Inc. elec-
tronic charts. Two basic types of charts can be viewed:
Approach charts and airport surface charts.
Approach charts can be manually loaded and over-
laid on the moving map during flight, while airport
surface charts are automatically overlaid while on the
ground. Both types of charts are also viewable from the
ChartView Function in a manual fashion. Approach
charts may also be loaded automatically when installed
with a GNS 480-series GPS receiver.
The electronic chart data is generated from the
standard Jeppesen CD ROM product, which is distrib-
uted and updated by Jeppesen on a two-week sched-
ule. The in-flight data resides on the pilot removable
front-loading data card and is updated by the pilot
using a home PC-based data loader.
The GMX 200 ChartView feature does not cur-
rently represent a sole replacement for the paper chart
within the cockpit. The presentation of the chart
data is intended for supplemental use and to provide
additional situational awareness. The pilot must still
have access to the printed chart as required by FAA
regulations.
Detailed Operation
ChartView as viewed on the Custom Map Page

Overview

• Charts are viewed either as a dynamic overlay on
the Custom/IFR Map, or as a static page through
the dedicated ChartView Function ("Chart" on the
function menu).
• When viewed as a dynamic overlay on the
Custom/IFR Map, the chart will be properly geo-
referenced with respect to the base map. Orienta-
tion (track up, north up, etc.), zoom scale, and
aircraft position will all be properly presented
relative to the chart data, using the standard map
controls.
• When viewed in the ChartView Function, more
selection options are available for locating a spe-
cific chart among the charts in the database, and
the chart is displayed similar to a standard chart
manual (north up) with no position overlay.
• A given approach chart must be "loaded" for
map overlay usage by first selecting the airport
of interest, then selecting the individual chart for
that airport. Approach charts can be loaded from
either the Custom/IFR Map or from the ChartView
Function.
• Pressing the Info key while a chart is loaded or
