TOPOGRAPHIC DATA ON THE NAVIGATION MAP PAGE
The Navigation Map Page displays various shades of topography land colors representing different levels of
land elevation similar to aeronautical sectional charts. The Navigation Map Page can display a topographic
scale representing key points of terrain elevation in the different colors. Their elevation value is shown in
the Topography Scale (Figure 6-41). The data given in the Topography Scale indicate to the pilot, how high
the aircraft is flying above the ground. See the GPS Navigation Section for more Navigation Map Page setup
information.

1) With the Navigation Map displayed, select the MAP Softkey.
2) Select the TOPO Softkey. Topo data can also be displayed on the Navigation Map Page by using the ‘On/Off’
topo data map setup feature.
