MEASURING BEARING AND DISTANCE
Distance and bearing can be measured on a navigation map using the Joystick. Measurement can be from
the aircraft’s present position to any point, or between any two points. The bearing and distance tool displays
a dashed Measurement Line and a Measure Pointer to aid in graphically identifying the points to measure.
Latitude/Longitude, distance, bearing and elevation data of the Measure Pointer is provided in a window at the
top left of the map.
Measuring bearing and distance between any two points:
1) Press the MENU Key (with the Navigation Map Page displayed).
2) Highlight the ‘Measure Bearing/Distance’ field.
3) Press the ENT Key. A Measure Pointer is displayed on the map at the aircraft’s present position.
4) Move the Joystick to place the reference pointer at the desired location. The bearing and distance are displayed
at the top of the map. Elevation at the current pointer position is also displayed. Pressing the ENT Key changes
the starting point for measuring.
5) To exit the Measure Bearing/Distance option, press the Joystick; or select ‘Stop Measuring’ from the Page
Menu and press the ENT Key.
