Refer to page 33 for information. Zooming In and Out of the Map The Map Page has 28 available range scales from 20 ft to 800 nm (20 ft to 800 mi or 5 m to 1200 km). The map range is controlled by the IN and OUT keys, with the current range shown at the bottom right of the data window. NOTE: The range value represents the distance between the ends of the range bar ( ). AVIATION MODE PAGES > MAP PAGE Map coverage conforms to the following conditions: • Cartography is shown when the selected zoom range is covered by either the internal basemap or other MapSource data loaded onto a data card. • When the selected zoom range is covered by both the internal database and data card map information, the cartography with the best resolution is shown. • When the selected zoom range exceeds the resolution of the data in use, "overzoom" appears below the map range. No additional data is available • When external data (such as MapSource data) is used, "map card" appears below the map range. To select a map zoom range (zoom in and out): • Press the OUT key to zoom out. • Press the IN key to zoom in. The system has a built-in worldwide database to 20 mile zoom range, with more detailed coverage available through the use of the Jeppesen, BlueChart, or MapSource data.

Zooming In and Out of the Map
The Map Page has 28 available range scales from 20 ft to 800 nm
(20 ft to 800 mi or 5 m to 1200 km). The map range is controlled by
the
IN
and
OUT
keys, with the current range shown at the bottom
right of the data window.
NOTE:
The range value represents the distance between the
ends of the range bar (
).
To select a map zoom range (zoom in and out):
•
Press the
OUT
key to zoom out.
•
Press the
IN
key to zoom in.
The system has a built-in worldwide database to 20 mile zoom
range, with more detailed coverage available through the use of the
Jeppesen, BlueChart, or MapSource data.
Map coverage conforms to the following conditions:
•
Cartography is shown when the selected zoom range is
covered by either the internal basemap or other MapSource
data loaded onto a data card.
•
When the selected zoom range is covered by both the internal
database and data card map information, the cartography with
the best resolution is shown.
•
When the selected zoom range exceeds the resolution of the
data in use, “overzoom” appears below the map range.
No additional data is available
•
When external data (such as MapSource data) is used, “map
card” appears below the map range.
