3 MULTI-FUNCTION DISPLAY (MFD)
The MFD displays a color moving map with navigation information. Moving
map information is shown on the two Navigation Map pages and the optional
Weather (WX) pages (requires a datalink and subscription).
The Navigation Map
displays aviation data (e.g., airports, VORs, airways, airspaces), geographic
data (e.g., cities, lake, highways, borders), topographic data (map shading
indicating elevation), and hazard data (e.g., traffic, terrain, weather). The
map options set for Navigation Map page 1 are used as the default settings
for the optional Weather (WX) pages. The amount of displayed data can
be reduced by pressing the DCLTR soft key. The Navigation Map can be
oriented four different ways: North Up (NORTH UP), Track Up (TRACK
UP), Desired Track Up (DTK UP), or Heading Up (HDG UP).

corresponding to the calculated present position. The aircraft position and
the flight plan legs are based on information received from the currently
selected GPS navigator. The leg of the active flight plan currently being
flown is shown as a magenta line on the navigation map. The other legs are
shown in white.
There are 28 different map ranges available, from 500 feet to 2000 NM.
The current range is indicated in the lower right corner of the map and
