AvMap ekp iii c User Manual

The Moving Map is the default state of the software. This mode displays the Moving Map

screen and Data  Window. The Moving Map displays map detail in Home, Auto Zoom or

Cursor mode. The operation mode will determine the options available within the screen. The

Data Window contains the navigation information pertaining to the active flight; these fields

can be customized.

From the Moving Map screen you can obtain Automatic Info and Full Info for

Database objects. Here you can also open the Cursor/Position Menu for features related to

Flight Plans, Waypoints and airspace.

In Cursor mode the screen is controlled by your movement of the cursor. When in Cursor

mode, a data field line will appear under the Data Window providing LAT/LON of the cursor

position. If a fix has been computed, a distance and bearing will also appear from the position

fix to the cursor.

When in Cursor mode it is possible to scroll on the map such that the position fix will

not be displayed on the screen. When this occurs, you can quickly display your position by acti-

vating Home mode (press ‘ESC’ once). At this time, the system will operate in Home mode (see

below Par. 3.1.2).

If you have a position fix, and would like to continue with the cursor at the last posi-

tion, press ‘ESC’ again (if the cursor keys have not been pressed between these two ‘ESC’

presses, the cursor will revert to the original position).

To activate the cursor from the current fix position, simply press the cursor keys and

the Cursor mode becomes active at the present fix position.

The cursor can be used to create and edit Waypoints and Flight Plans; identify airspace,

obtain info about objects, project radial lines and measure distance (see Cursor Menu, Par. 3.6).
