Map Page
After the GPS 500 acquires satellites and computes a position, the Map page appears automatically.
The Map page displays your present position (using an airplane symbol) relative to nearby airports,
VORs, NDBs, intersections, user waypoints and airspace boundaries—and your route displayed as a
solid line. The current map scale is indicated in the lower left corner and adjustable using the RNG
key.

OR,
2. Press the down arrow on the RNG key to zoom in to a smaller area.
By adding data fields along the sides, the Map page
can combine a moving map display and navigation
data for complete situational awareness. Map setup
pages are provided to add these data fields and to
designate the maximum scale at which each map
feature appears. These settings provide an automatic
decluttering of the map (based upon your
preferences) as you adjust the scale.
