The trafﬁ c label is the altitude separation above or below the symbol and the vertical speed sense arrow

2. Press MENU to display the Page Menu.

3. Turn the small right knob to select 'Change Fields?' and press ENT.

without adjusting the map scale. When you select the panning function—by pressing the small right knob,

a target pointer flashes on the map display. A window also appears at the top of the map display showing

the latitude/longitude position of the pointer, plus the bearing and distance to the pointer from your pres-

ent position.

1. Press the small right knob to activate the panning target pointer.

2. Turn the small right knob clockwise to move up, or turn it counterclockwise to move down.

3. Turn the large right knob clockwise to move right, or turn it counterclockwise to move left.

4. To cancel the panning function and return to your present position, press the small right knob.
