ADDITIONAL FEATURES
When	a	chart	 is	not	 available	 by	selecting	 the	SHW CHRT	Softkey	 or	selecting	 a	Page	 Menu	 Option,	 charts	
may	be	obtained	for	other	airports	from	the	WPT	Pages	or	Flight	Plan	Pages.
If	a	chart	 is	available	 for	the	 destination	 airport,	or	the	 airport	 selected	 in	the	 active	 flight	plan,	the	chart	
appears	 on	the	 screen.		 When	no	flight	 plan	is	active,	 or	when	 not	flying	 to	a	direct-to	 destination,	 selecting	the	
SHW CHRT	Softkey	displays	the	chart	for	the	nearest	airport,	if	available.
The	chart	 shown	 is	one	 associated	 with	the	WPT	–	Airport	 Information	page.		Usually	 this	is	the	 airport	 runway	
diagram.		 Where	no	runway	 diagram	 exists,	but	Take	 Off	Minimums	 or	Alternate	 Minimums	 are	available,	 that	
page	appears.		If	Airport	Information	pages	are	unavailable,	the	Approach	Chart	for	the	airport	is	shown.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
While	the	APPROACH	 Box	is	selected	 using	the	FMS	Knob,	 the	G1000	 softkeys	 are	blank.		 Once	the	desired	
chart	 is	selected,	 the	chart	 scale	can	be	changed	 and	the	chart	 page	can	be	scrolled	 using	the	Joystick.		Pressing	
the Joystick	centers	the	chart	on	the	screen.
The	 aircraft	 symbol	 is	shown	 on	the	 chart	 only	if	the	 chart	 is	to	 scale	 and	the	aircraft	 position	 is	within	
the	 boundaries	 of	the	 chart.		 The	aircraft	 symbol	 is	not	 displayed	 when	the	Aircraft	 Not	Shown	 Icon	appears	
(Figure	8-28).		 If	the	 Chart	 Scale	Box	displays	 a	banner	 NOT	TO	SCALE,	 the	aircraft	 symbol	 is	not	 shown.		 The	
Aircraft	Not	Shown	Icon	may	appear	at	certain	times,	even	if	the	chart	is	displayed	to	scale.
Selecting the CHRT Softkey	switches	 between	the	ChartView	 diagram	and	the	associated	 map	in	the	 WPT	
page	 group.		 In	the	 example	 shown,	the	CHRT	Softkey	 switches	 between	the	Gainesville,	 FL	(KGNV)	 Airport	
Diagram	and	the	navigation	map	on	the	WPT	–	Airport	Information	page.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Selecting the INFO-1 or INFO-2 Softkey	returns	to	the	 airport	 diagram	 when	the	view	 is	on	 a	different	 chart.		
If	the	displayed	chart	is	the	airport	diagram,	the	INFO-1 or INFO-2 Softkey	has	no	effect.
The	aircraft	 position	 is	shown	 in	magenta	 on	the	 ChartView	 diagrams	when	the	location	 of	the	 aircraft	 is	
within	the	chart	 boundaries.		 In	the	 example	 shown,	the	aircraft	 is	taxiing	 on	Taxiway	 Alpha	on	the	 Charlotte,	
NC	(KCLT)	airport.
Another	 source	for	additional	 airport	information	 is	from	 the	INFO	 Box	above	 the	chart	 for	certain	 airports.		
This information source is not related to the INFO-1 or INFO-2	Softkey.		 When	the	INFO	 Box	is	selected	 using	
the FMS	Knob,	 the	G1000	 softkeys	 are	blank.	 	 The	Charlotte,	 NC	airport	 has	five	 additional	 charts	offering	
information;	 the	Airport	 Diagram,	 Take-off	Minimums,	 Class	B	Airspace,	 Airline	Parking	 Gate	Coordinates,	 and	
Airline	Parking	Gate	Location.		(The	numbers	in	parentheses	after	the	chart	name	are	Jeppesen	designators.)
