2 The bASICS
This chapter provides general information about the functions of the keys and entering data.
2.1 The KeYboArd
The Geopilot II Plus has keys, which access and control features. Some keys perform different
tasks based on the operation mode. A quick key guide is displayed at the bottom of many menus
for easy reference. Below we indicate the keys in capital letters enclosed between single inverted
commas, for example 'MENU'. When a key, for example 'MENU', must be pressed and held down
for more than 1 second it is shown as 'MENU' 1 sec.
The near key
'NEAR': press and hold to turn the Geopilot II Plus On.
'NEAR' 3 sec.: once the GeoPilot has been turned On turns the GeoPilot Off.
'NEAR': (immediately release!) Displays a list of the 20 nearest objects, including private airports
which contain runways of at least 500 ft. in lenght, relative to fix position or cursor position if no
fix is available.
'NEAR': 1 sec once the Geopilot II Plus has been turned On displays the Brightness and the
Contrast Menu.
The GoTo key
Activates a Flight Plan to the cursor position (in Moving Map) or to selected object (in other
modes).
GOTO 1 sec.: allows the user to quickly filter mapping information on the display. There are three
Cycle modes selectable and holding GOTO shifts from one to the other in succession. The default
Cycle is the Cycle 1 that normally activates all features to be visible on the display.
To set user preferences for the Cycle Key:
'MENU' + "SELECTIVE DISPLAY" + 'ENTER'
The Cycles appear in the first three columns and are labeled 1, 2 and 3. In order to adjust at which
Cycle features appear, use the Cursor Control key to highlight an item and hit 'ENTER' to remove
the item from appearing. Hit ENTER again to check the item so that it will appear on the display
when that Cycle is activated. Continue to use this procedure to activate features in Cycles 1 - 3 as
desired.
The - key
Shows less detail of a larger area by changing the chart scale and zooming out on the map display.
The cursor key
Moves the cursor on the Moving Map, quickly and accurately. Also scrolls to the desired options
in menu page(s).
If pressed on the center it works as an 'ENT' key, it selects the desired option or confirms selection.
Also opens the Cursor/Position Menu.
The + key
Shows more detail of a smaller area by changing the chart scale and zooming in on the map display.
If pressed outside the Moving Map it can be used as an 'ENT' key
The esc key
Rejects an action, closes a window or activates Home or Auto Zoom mode.
