EchoMap v3.0 

 

The interval menu lets you program the system to 

automatically send weather requests on a regular 

time interval.  The interval can be set from 0 to 60 minutes in 

15-minute increments.  Interval preset is 0 (off).  To activate 

this function select 

in the menu and use the Left and 

Right arrow keys to pick your setting. 

 

The Request Point menu lets you request a NexRAD image 

centered on a remote airport, navaid or intersection instead of 

route of flight.  This is useful when looking ahead over long 

distances.  
Select 

 in the menu and select the desired point 

as you would if you were flying direct to that target (see section 

4.6) Once you select an item press Enter to send the request 

and return to the moving map.  The result will replace any 

weather currently displayed on your map.  

To view the weather from a remote location press the 

(F2)

 key, and select the correct airport in the menu 

and view its map page. 

Basic NexRAD animation is provided that, when enabled, cycles 

through all the received NexRAD pictures.  This can provide some 

idea of how the weather is changing.  Select the 

option 

in the WX menu and press Enter to toggle animation mode on 

and off.
