mapping screen called the cursor. The arrow keys also help you move
around the AirMap menus so you can execute different commands.
They are represented by symbols like these, which denote the down
arrow key, the up arrow, the left arrow and the right arrow: ↓ ↑ ← →.

The other keys perform a variety of functions. When the text refers to a
key to press, the key is shown in bold, sans serif type. For example, the
"Enter/Save" key is shown as
Menu Commands

in a bold sans serif type like this:

some kind with the menu item. Text that you may need to enter or file
names you need to select are show in italic type, such as trail name.
Instructions = Menu Sequences
Most functions you perform with AirMap are described as a sequence of
keystrokes and selecting menu commands. We've written them in a
condensed manner for quick and easy reading.
For example, instructions for deleting all icons from memory would
look like this:
1. Press
2. Press ← to
3. Press
Translated into complete English, step 1 means: "Press the Menu key. Next,
press the down arrow key to scroll down the menu and select (highlight) the
Delete My Icons menu command. Finally, press the Enter key twice."
Step 2 means: "Press the left arrow key to select Yes, then press Enter."
Step 3 means: "Press the Exit key to clear the menu and return to the
Map Page."

or an arrow (
they form a circular loop. This means when you open a menu and
need to reach the bottom command, you can get there by pressing ↑
one time instead of holding or repeatedly pressing ↓. A cockpit can be
a busy place; practice with these shortcuts and you can run AirMap
commands faster, with less finger movement from key to key.
