Panel Page The Panel Page shows GPS-derived data in a graphical format, similar to an instrument panel. Keep in mind the differences between this page and your mechanical instruments, as your mechanical panel instruments use sensors that provide information different from that derived using GPS. The Panel Page appears only when the GPSMAP 296 is in Aviation Mode. The Panel Page shows a graphic Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) surrounded by additional indicators. HSI showing Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) Ground speed Next waypoint and distance to it Turn Rate Indicator Estimated time enroute Panel Page Altitude Vertical speed CDI scale AVIATION MODE PAGES > PANEL PAGE The graphic HSI depicts the course to the destination or the next waypoint in a route, current ground track, off course error, and a To/From indication. The rotating compass indicates your current ground track at the top of the page. The course pointer and course deviation needle indicate the course and whether you are on the course. A bug indicator provides information to guide you back to the course if you stray off course. If you move off course, the Course Deviation Indicator, or needle, indicates how far off course you are, left or right, based on its placement along the course deviation scale. To get back on course and center the needle, steer toward the needle. The course deviation scale setting is adjustable for Auto, ±0.25, 1.25 or 5.00 (nautical mile, statute mile, or kilometer) full-scale deflection. The course deviation scale appears on the lower right corner of the HSI. The default setting is Auto, which uses three factors to determine the distance from the center of the CDI to full left or right limits: • When you are within 30 nm of any airport in the active route, Auto sets the CDI scale at 1.25. • When you are on an approach leg or within 2 nm of the FAF or MAP waypoints, Auto sets the scale at 0.25. • If the previous two conditions do not exist, Auto sets to 5.0.
