The Map Page displays aviation data (e.g., airports, VORs, airways, airspaces),
geographic data (e.g., cities, lakes, highways, borders), topographic data (map
shading indicating elevation). The Navigation Map can be oriented three different
ways: North Up (NORTH UP), Track Up (TRK UP) or Desired Track Up (DTK UP).
An aircraft icon is placed on the Navigation Map at the location corresponding
to the calculated present position. The aircraft position and the flight plan legs
are accurately based on GPS calculations. The basemap upon which these are
placed are from a source with less resolution, therefore the relative position of
the aircraft to map features is not exact. The leg of the active flight plan currently
being flown is shown as a magenta line on the navigation map. The other legs
are shown in white.
The Direct-to Window, the Flight Plan Pages, and the Nearest Airports Pages can
be displayed by pressing the corresponding hardkeys.

the Map Page. The route line represents the course.
