Section 3:
Aviation Operation
This section addresses AirMap's main aviation GPS functions. The
principles are the same in both operating modes, so this discussion also
serves as a good introduction to Land Mode work.
Before you turn on AirMap and find where you are, it's a good idea to
learn about the different keys, the five Page screens and how they all
work together. BUT, if you just can't wait to get outside, grab the bat-
teries and turn to the one-page Quick Reference on page 31.
