everything displayed on the map except for route
lines.

joystick
again to cancel the panning
function and return to the present position on
the map.
NOTE: The airspace boundary stays highlighted
for approximately four (4) seconds before return-
ing to normal shading.
WORKING WITH MENUS
Much of the G1000 operation is accomplished using
a menu interface. The G1000 has a bezel-mounted dedi
-
cated MENU key that, when pressed, displays a context-
sensitive list of options. This option list allows the pilot to
access additional features or make setting changes which
specifically relate to the currently displayed window.
There is no all-encompassing menu. Some menus pro
-
vide access to additional submenus that are in turn used
to view, edit, select and review options.
Once the Page Menu window is displayed, turn the
FMS knob to scroll through a list of available options (a
scroll bar always appears to the right of the window when
the option list is longer than the window) and press the
ENT key to select the desired option. The CLR key may
be pressed to remove the menu and cancel the opera
-
tion. Pressing the FMS knob also removes the displayed
menu. Pressing the softkeys does not display a menu or
submenu.
