 NOTE:  When panning or reviewing active flight plan legs in a non-North Up or\
ientation, the map does not 
show the map orientation nor the wind direction and speed.
 NOTE:  Map orientation can only be changed on the Navigation Map Page.  Any other displays that show 
navigation data reflect the orientation selected for the Navigation Ma\
p Page.
Changing the Navigation Map orientation:
1) With the Navigation Map Page displayed, press the MENU Key.  The cursor flashes on the ‘Map Setup’ option.

MAP RANGE
There are 28 different map ranges available, from 500 feet to 2000 nm.  The current range is indicated in 
the lower right corner of the map and represents the top-to-bottom distance covered by the map.  When the 
map range is decreased to a point that exceeds the capability of the G1000 to accurately \
represent the map, 
a magnifying glass icon is shown to the left of the map range.  To change the map range turn the Joystick 
counter-clockwise to decrease the range, or clockwise to increase the range.

FLIGHT MANAGEMENT
AUTO ZOOM
Auto zoom allows the G1000 to change the map display range to the smalle\
st range clearly showing the 
active waypoint.  Auto zoom can be overridden by adjusting the range with the Joystick, an\
d remains until 
the active waypoint changes, a terrain or traffic alert occurs, the ai\
rcraft takes off, or the manual override times 
out (timer set on Map Setup Window).
If a terrain caution or warning occurs, any map page displaying TAWS/TERRAIN data automatically adjusts 
to the smallest map range clearly showing the highest priority alert.  If a new traffic advisory alert occurs, any 
map page capable of displaying traffic advisory alerts automatically adjusts to the smallest map range clearly 
showing the traffic advisory.  When terrain or traffic alerts clear, the map returns to the previous auto zoom 
range based on the active waypoint.
The auto zoom function can be turned on or off independently for the PFD and MFD. Control of the ranges 
at	which	 the	auto	 zoom	 occurs	 is	done	 by	setting	 the	minimum	 and	maximum	 ‘look	forward’	 times	(set	on	
the Map Setup Window for the Map Group). These settings determine the minimum and maximum distance 
to display based upon the aircraft’s ground speed.
•	 Waypoints	 that	are	long	 distances	 apart	cause	 the	map	 range	 to	increase	 to	a	point	 where	 many	details	 on	
the map are decluttered. If this is not acceptable, lower the maximum look ahead time to a va\
lue that limits 
the auto zoom to an acceptable range.
•	 Waypoints	 that	are	very	 short	 distances	 apart	cause	 the	map	 range	 to	decrease	 to	a	point	 where	 situational	
awareness may not be what is desired. Increase the minimum look ahead time to a value that limits the auto 
zoom to a minimum range that provides acceptable situational awareness.
•	 Flight	 plans	that	have	 a	combination	 of	long	 and	short	 legs	cause	 the	range	 to	increase	 and	decrease	 as	
waypoints	 sequence.	 	 To	avoid	 this,	auto	 zoom	 can	be	disabled	 or	the	 maximum/minimum	 times	can	be	
adjusted.
•	 The	 ‘time	out’	time	 (configurable	 on	the	 Map	 Setup	 Page	for	the	 Map	 Group)	 determines	 how	long	 auto	
zoom is overridden by a manual adjustment of the range knob.  At the exp\
iration of this time, the auto 
zoom	range	is	restored.		Setting	the	‘time	out’	value	to	zero	causes	the	manual	override	to	never	time	out.	
•	 When	 the	maximum	 ‘look	forward’	 time	is	set	 to	zero,	 the	upper	 limit	becomes	 the	maximum	 range	available	
(2000 nm).
•	 When	the	minimum	‘look	forward’	time	is	set	to	zero,	the	lower	limit	becomes	1.5	nm.

MAP PANNING
Map panning allows the pilot to:
•	 View	parts	of	the	map	outside	the	displayed	range	without	adjusting	the	map	range
•	 Highlight	and	select	locations	on	the	map
•	 Review	information	for	a	selected	airport,	NAVAID	or	user	waypoint
•	 Designate	locations	for	use	in	flight	planning
•	 View	airspace	and	airway	information
When the panning function is selected by pressing the Joystick, the Map 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, 
the bearing and distance to the pointer from the aircraft’s present position, and the elevation of the land at the 
position of the pointer.

Map Pointer Information
 NOTE:  The map is normally centered on the aircraft’s position.  If the map has been panned and there has 
been no pointer movement for about 60 seconds, the map reverts back to centered on the aircraft position 
and the flashing pointer is removed.

When the Map Pointer is placed on an object, the name of the object is h\
ighlighted (even if the name was 
not originally displayed on the map).  When any map feature or object is selected on the map display, pertinent 
information is displayed.

MEASURING BEARING AND DISTANCE
Distance and bearing from the aircraft’s present position to any point on the viewable navigation map may be 
calculated	using	the	‘Measure	 Bearing	and	Distance’	 selection	from	Navigation	 Map	page	 menu.		 The	bearing	
and distance tool displays a dashed Measurement Line and a Measure Pointer to aid in graphically identifying 
points with which to measure.  Lat/Long, distance and elevation data for the Measure Pointer is provided in a 
window at the top of the navigation map.
Measuring bearing and distance between any two points:
1) Press the MENU Key (with the Navigation Map Page displayed).
2) Highlight the ‘Measure Bearing/Distance’ field.
3) Press the ENT Key.  A Measure Pointer is displayed on the map at the aircraft’s present position.
4) Move the Joystick to place the reference pointer at the desired location.  The bearing and distance are displayed 
at the top of the map.  Elevation at the current pointer position is also displayed.  Pressing the ENT Key changes 
the starting point for measuring.
5) To exit the Measure Bearing/Distance option, press the Joystick; or select ‘Stop Measuring’ from the Page 
Menu and press the ENT Key.
