altitude at the location specifi ed on the VNAV screen.
Leg Dist — The distance between two route waypoints.
Leg Fuel — The fuel required to travel from a route waypoint to the next waypoint (in sequence) in the route.
Leg Time — The time required to travel from a route waypoint to the next waypoint (in sequence) in the route.
Max Speed — The maximum second-by-second speed recorded since last reset.
Moving Average Speed —
Average speed while the unit is moving.
Moving Trip Timer — Total time the unit has been moving.
Odometer — A running tally of distance traveled, based upon the distance between second-by-second position
readings.
Speed —
The current velocity at which you are travelling, relative to a ground position. Also referred to as ‘ground

To Course —
The recommended direction to steer in order to reduce course error or stay on course. Provides the
