The REO map is another navigation tool available on the Radar/Electro-Optical Display.
Switch to this map by pressing the 

C key. When you want to return to the radar, press the

C key again.

A small regional map will display with your aircraft as a small red “+” sign. Your home air
base is a dark red “x” and your next waypoint is a small green triangle.

Ground Map mode is an air-to-ground radar mode. This radar mode is used to determine
your position over terrain, to spot landmarks and to help you locate your targets. Switch to
Ground Map mode by pressing 

7. You can exit Ground Map mode and return to your

previous radar mode by pressing the 

7 key again.

Ground Map mode has a fixed range of 20 nm, but it has five levels of zoom. When you select
Ground Map mode, the radar will scan the terrain in front of you and display a representation
of it on your radar. You can identify some features by color and shape. For example, bright
green lines are rivers and dim green lines are roads. Buildings will appear as dots until you
get very close. You can also identify runways from the Ground Map mode.

The square in the center of the radar display is your guide for zooming in. If you press the
1 key (zoom in), the area inside the square will fill the entire radar display. Normal
ground map mode is 1 to 1. You can zoom in to 2x, 4x, 8x or 16x magnification. Press 

2

to zoom back out. Read the expansion value in the upper right corner of the radar screen.

Move the zoom rectangle around in the radar display to zoom in on areas that are not directly
in the center of the display. Use the 

s key in combination with the movement keys (I,

J, M and L) to move the zoom rectangle to a new position. There are nine possible display
positions: three across and three down. Once you position the zoom rectangle on the area
of interest, press the zoom in key to see it in more detail.
