WEATHER SOFTKEYS
Softkeys control the display of weather information on the MFD and PFD Inset Map. Product legends are
only available on the Weather Data Link Page of the MFD.
The Weather Data Link Page is the primary starting point for weather data with the G1000 because it displays
all available weather products. Other G1000 maps display a subset of weather products. When a weather
product is selected for display, the corresponding softkey label changes to gray. This indicates that the product
is enabled. Unavailable weather products have dimmed or disabled softkey labels.
