of these pages, selection of another page is a simple selection process using the small and large right
knobs.

Page Groups / NAV Page Group
The bottom right corner of the screen indicates the
page group currently being displayed (e.g. NAV or
NRST), the number of screens available within that
group (indicated by square icons) and the placement
of the current screen within that group (indicated by
a highlighted square icon). To select a different page
within the group, rotate the small right knob.
This part of the screen is also used to display the
GPS 500 turn advisories (e.g. "TURN TO 355°")
and waypoint alerts (e.g. "NEXT DTK 355°")
during flight plan and approach operations. See
Section 4 for more information.
* Five NAV pages are available when the GPS 500
installation includes connection to traffic and/or
weather information sources. See 400/500 Series
