MEASURING BEARING AND DISTANCE
Distance and bearing from the aircraft’s present position to any point on the viewable navigation map may
be calculated using the ‘Measure Bearing and Distance’ selection from MAP – NAVIGATION MAP Page menu.
The bearing and distance tool displays a dashed Measurement Line and a Measure Pointer to aid in graphically
identifying points with which to measure. Lat/Long, distance and elevation data for the Measure Pointer is
provided in a window at the top of the navigation map.
Measuring bearing and distance between any two points:
1) Press the MENU Key (with the MAP – NAVIGATION MAP Page displayed).
2) Highlight the ‘Measure Bearing/Distance’ option.
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, push the Joystick; or select ‘Stop Measuring’ from the page menu
and press the ENT Key.
