Now that we’ve seen how to find waypoints on the map and view informationabout them, let’s see how the GPS III Pilot is used to navigate to the waypoint we justselected. (Keep in mind that the cursor can also be used to GOTO any point on themap–even without a waypoint already at that location–by simply panning to a locationand pressing GOTO/NRST. A waypoint named ‘MAP’ is automatically created. Wewon’t try that here, but you might want to experiment with this procedure at the endof the Simulator Tour.)To select the highlighted waypoint as a GOTO destination, press GOTO/NRST and ENTER.Notice that a course line appears on the map display showing the way to ourdestination, panning mode is automatically cancelled and the map re-centers itselfaround your present position. Now that we have our destination selected, it’s abouttime we get started—so let’s plug a speed into this simulator to animate the displays!To enter a simulated speed and animate the displays:1. Press PAGE repeatedly until the HSI Page appears (see page 22).2. Enter a simulated speed of ‘100’ (knots) using the rocker keypad. (Press UP on the rock-er keypad repeatedly to select ‘100’. The speed readout is on the upper-right corner ofthe HSI Page.)3. Press PAGE (or QUIT) repeatedly to return to the Map Page.Notice the information on the map display is slowly moving? That’s how it wouldlook in actual use as well. The background map information, airports, navaids and air-space boundaries will move across the screen, while your current position remainsfixed in the center.To select a GOTO destinationfrom the map, highlight thedesired waypoint, pressGOTO/NRST and thenENTER.Once the GOTO destination isselected, a course line appearson the map display and themap re-centers itself aroundyour current position.21SIMULATOR TOURGoing to the Waypoint
