Default NAV Page
The first NAV page is the Default NAV page. This page may be quickly selected from ANY page by
using the CLR key.
To select the NAV group and display the Default NAV page, press and hold CLR.
The Default NAV page provides a “look ahead” map display with your present position at the bottom
center of the page. The top of the page displays desired track (DTK), ground track (TRK) and distance
to destination waypoint (DIS). The bottom of the page indicates ground speed (GS), active to/from
waypoints (only active to, for a direct-to destination) and estimated time en route. A graphic course
deviation indicator (CDI) also appears at the bottom of the page. Unlike the angular limits used on a
mechanical CDI coupled to a VOR or ILS receiver, full scale limits for this CDI are defined by a GPS-
derived distance (0.3, 1.0 or 5.0 nm). By default, the CDI scale automatically adjusts to the desired
limits based upon the current phase of flight: en route, terminal area or approach. You may also
manually select the desired scale setting as outlined on page 128.

The graphic CDI shows your position at the center of the indicator, relative to the desired course
(the moving course deviation needle). As with a traditional mechanical CDI, when you’re off course
simply steer toward the needle. The TO/FROM arrow in the center of the scale indicates whether you
are heading to the waypoint (an up arrow) or if you have passed the waypoint (a down arrow).

The following symbols are used —on the Default

depict the “active leg” of a flight plan or direct-to.
