Range Finder Feature
While in any camera
mode, you can use the Range
Finder Feature to identify
important structures and land-
marks within your field of
view.
Once you activate the
Range finder, you may point
at any object you see on the
ground, the sky, or in the air and you will see a label identifying
the object and calculating the distance to it.
You can point to almost anything with this tool. Pointing at
a building or structure will display the height of the structure, your
current clearance over the structure (to make sure you can clear it
from a distance), and the range to the structure. Pointing at an air-
port or VOR will show you their name and range. You can dou-
ble-click on an airport to receive an Airport Information window,
which displays runway, localizer, and ATC frequency information.
You can double-click on a VOR to receive information about its
operating range and frequency. If you are feeling really adventur-
ous, you can find the range to the sun and the moon, or the cata-
log names of stars in the sky!
