Getting Started Functions The Message Log displays information from the GMX 200 or reported to the GMX 200 by its external sensors. A flashing MSG annunciator notifies you of a new message that should be viewed. The Custom Map function allows you to completely customize the displayed map by overlaying selected information. The Custom Map can become cluttered if you choose every option, so use discretion. The IFR Chart function provides an IFR en route style map on the display. The VFR Chart function provides a VFR sectional style map on the display. The Split Screen function allows up to two of the other functions to be displayed side by side and an optional vertical profile across the bottom of the display.
