Map panning moves the map beyond its current limits
without adjusting the map range. When the panning
function is selected by pushing the joystick, a panning
arrow flashes on the Weather Data Link Page. Panning over
AIRMETs, County Warnings, TFRs, Echo Tops, METARs,
SIGMET’s, and Cell Movement displays text information
for the selection. This information is displayed in the
same location as the “map pointer information” on the
Navigation Map Page.
To display information for selected weather
products:
1. Push in the
joystick to display the panning
arrow.
2. Move the
joystick to place the panning arrow
on the desired product. Press the ENT key to
display pertinent information for the selected
product.
Note that pressing the ENT key when pan
-
ning over an AIRMET or a SIGMET displays an
information box that gives the actual text of
that alert. Panning over an airport with METAR
information does not display more information
but allows the user to press the ENT key and
select that Airport’s Information Page and
displays the actual text. Pressing the ENT key
when panning over a TFR displays TFR specific
information for the panned TFR.
