The topographic data range is the maximum map range on which topographic data is displayed.
NOTE: Since the PFD Inset Map is much smaller than the MFD navigation maps, items are removed on the
PFD Inset Map two range levels smaller than the range selected in the Map Setup pages (e.g., a setting
of 100 nm removes the item at ranges above 100 nm on MFD navigation maps, while the PFD Inset Map
removes the same item at 50 nm).
Selecting a topographical data range (TOPO DATA):
1) Press the MENU Key with the MAP – NAVIGATION MAP Page displayed. The cursor flashes on the ‘Map Setup’
option.
2) Press the ENT Key. The MAP SETUP Window is displayed.
3) Select the ‘Map’ Group.
4) Press the ENT Key.
5) Highlight the TOPO DATA range field. TOPO ranges are from 500 ft to 2000 nm.

map) showing a scale of the terrain elevation and current elevation values.
