MEASURING BEARING AND DISTANCE

Distance and bearing from the aircraft's present position to any point on the viewable
navigation map may be calculated using the 'Measure Distance' selection from Map
Page menu. The distance tool displays a dashed Measurement Line and a Map Pointer
to aid in graphically identifying points to measure. Lat/Long, bearing, distance, and
elevation data for the Map Pointer is provided in a window at the top of the Map
Page.
Measuring bearing and distance between any two points:
1) From the Map Page, press the MENU Key.
2) Turn or move the FMS Joystick to highlight 'Measure Distance' and press
the ENT Key. A Measure Pointer is displayed on the map at the aircraft's
present position.
3) Move the FMS Joystick to place the reference pointer at the desired
location. The bearing and distance are displayed at the top of the map.
Elevation at the current pointer position is also displayed. Pressing the ENT
Key changes the starting point for measuring.
4) To exit the Measure Bearing/Distance option, press the FMS Joystick; or
select 'Stop Measuring' from the Page Menu and press the ENT Key.
