Section 3:
Aviation Operation
This section addresses AirMap's main aviation GPS functions. The
principles are the same in both operating modes, so this discussion also
serves as a good introduction to Land Mode work.
Before you turn on AirMap and find where you are, it's a good idea to
learn about the different keys, the five Page screens and how they all
work together. BUT, if you just can't wait to get outside, grab the bat-
teries and turn to the one-page Quick Reference on page 31.
Keypad

off and activates the backlight.

tion, Map and Airport Orientation.) Each page represents one of the
unit's major modes of operation.

or adjust a feature from a list.
4. ARROW KEYS – These keys are used to navigate through the
menus, make menu selections, move the chart cursor and enter data.

accept values or to execute menu commands. Also use it to quickly cre-
ate waypoints or icons.
