Clearing the Map Page

Routinely clearing the Map Page of all discharge points is a good way to determine if a storm is

building or dissipating. In a building storm discharge points reappear faster and in larger numbers. In a

dissipating storm discharge points appear slower and in smaller numbers.

To clear the Map Page of all discharge points:

1. From the default Nav Page, turn the small right knob to select the Map Page. Press MENU to display the

Page Menu. Turn the small right knob to select 'Clear Storm Data?' and press ENT.

Storm data can be displayed on the 2000 nm zoom scale, but the data only goes out as far as the

STORMSCOPE can report (200 nm). The 500 nm zoom scale will display all lightning data. Scales

greater than 500 nm do not display any further STORMSCOPE data.

To select a storm data display range:

1. From the default Nav Page, turn the small right knob to select the Map Page. Press MENU to display the

Page Menu.

2. Turn the small right knob to select 'Setup Map?' and press ENT. Turn the small right knob to select the

Weather Group and press ENT. Turn the large right knob to select the desired lightning symbol option. Turn

the small right knob to select the desired range and press ENT.

Main Page Sequence

Only the data that is viewable on the screen is

included in the strike rate. Therefore, you can zoom

in and see what the strike rate is locally, or you can

zoom out for a bigger picture.

Also, when panning with the cursor on the Map

Page (see page 15), you can zoom in and isolate

individual cells. Please note, however, that strike

data is not typically updated on the Map Page

while the panning cursor is on. Therefore, when the

panned map is ﬁ rst displayed, the data is only a

"snapshot" of conditions (as mentioned above, the

strike rate will reﬂ ect viewable data only).
