Distance and bearing from the aircraft’s present position to any point on the
viewable navigation map may be calculated using the ‘Measure Distance’ selection
from Map Page menu. The distance tool displays a dashed Measurement Line

bearing, distance, and elevation data for the Map Pointer is provided in a window
at the top of the Map Page.

press the ENT Key. A Measure Pointer is displayed on the map at the
aircraft’s present position.

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.
