Default Nav Page
Selecting Desired On-Screen Data
At the bottom of the default NAV page you’ll find 
six user-definable fields which display the data you’ll 
need as your flight progresses. By default these fields 
display: distance to destination (DIS), desired track 
(DTK), bearing to destination (BRG), ground speed 
(GS), ground track (TRK) and estimated time en route 
(ETE). However, each of these fields can be custom-
tailored to your preferences by selecting a different 
data item. Available data items include: 
• Bearing to destination (BRG)
• Distance to destination (DIS)
•  Desired track (DTK)
• En route safe altitude (ESA)
• Estimated time of arrival (ETA)
• Estimate time en route (ETE)
• Fuel Flow (FLOW) (When Configured)
• Ground speed (GS)
• Minimum safe altitude (MSA)
• Track angle error (TKE)
• Ground track (TRK)
• Vertical speed required (VSR)
• Cross track error (XTK)
If no flight plan or direct-to destination has been 
selected only speed, track, altitude and minimum 
safe altitude data may be displayed. All other data 
types will appear as blank lines—on the default NAV 
page—until a destination is selected. 
To select a different data item for any data field: 
1.   Starting with the default NAV page, press the 
MENU key to display an options menu. 
2.   The “Change Fields?” option is already high-
lighted, so press ENT to select this option. 
3.   Use the large right knob to highlight the data 
field you wish to change. 
4.   Turn the small right knob to display the list 
of available data items. Continue turning the 
small right knob to select the desired data 
item from the list. 
5.  Press ENT to select the desired data item and 
return to the default NAV page. 
6.  Press  the small right knob momentarily to 
remove the cursor from the page.

Restoring Factory Settings
You can also quickly return all data field settings to 
their original factory settings. 
To restore all six data fields to factory default 
settings: 
1.  Starting with the default NAV page, press the 
MENU key to display an options menu. 
2.  Turn  the large right knob to highlight the 
“Restore Defaults?” option and press ENT. 
Dual Unit Considerations
A “Crossfill?” option is provided from the Default 
NAV Page. This option allows you to transfer a direct-
to destination, the active flight plan including VNAV 
parameters, any stored flight plan or user waypoints to 
a second 400W or 500W-series Garmin unit. 
See Section 9 - Aux Pages - Flight Planning - 
Crossfill Operation for additional details on using the 
“Crossfill?” option. 
 NOTE: The  databases of the 400/500 series and 
the 400W/500W are incompatible so you may not 
mix systems. 
Map Page
The second NAV page is the map page, which dis-
plays your present position using an airplane symbol, 
along with nearby airports, navaids, user-defined 
waypoints, airspace boundaries, lakes, rivers, high-
ways and cities. 
 NOTE: The electronic chart is an aid to navigation 
and is designed to facilitate the use of authorized 
government charts, not replace them. Land and 
water data is provided only as a general reference 
to your surroundings. The positional accuracy 
of the land and water data is not of a precision 
suitable for use in navigation and it should not 
be used for navigation. Only official government 
charts and notices contain all information needed 
for safe navigation – and, as always, the user is 
responsible for their prudent use.

Map Page
Map Symbols
Various symbols are used to distinguish between 
waypoint types. The identifiers for any on-screen 
waypoints can also be displayed. (By default the iden-
tifiers are enabled). Special-use and controlled airspace 
boundaries appear on the map, showing the individual 
sectors in the case of Class B or Class C airspace. 
The following symbols are used to depict the various 
airports and navaids on the map page: 
 Airport with hard surface runway(s); Primary runway shown
 Airport with soft surface runway(s) only
 Private Airfield  Intersection
 VOR    VORTAC
 VOR/DME   TACAN
 DME   NDB
 Localizer   Locator Outer Marker
 Heliport
Map Range
The map display can be set to 23 different scale 
settings from 500 feet to 2000 NM (statute and metric 
units are also available). The scale is indicated in the 
lower left-hand corner of the map display, and repre-
sents the top-to-bottom distance covered by the map 
display. 
To select a map Range: 
1.   Press  the up arrow side of the RNG key to 
zoom out to a larger map area. 
2.  Press the down arrow side of the RNG key 
to zoom in to a smaller map area and more 
detail.

Map Page Auto  Zoom
An autozoom feature is available which will auto-
matically adjust from an en route range of 200 NM 
through each lower range, stopping at a range of  
1.0 NM as you approach your destination waypoint. 
The autozoom feature is turned on/off from the map 
setup page. 
The map page also displays a background map 
showing lakes, rivers, coastlines, highways, railways 
and towns. When a map scale is selected below the 
lower limit at which the map detail was originally cre-
ated, an “overzoom” indication will appear on the map 
display, below the scale reading. “Overzoom” indicates 
that the detail at this scale may not accurately repre-
sent actual conditions. If you continue to zoom in to 
lower scale settings, “overzoom” will be replaced with 
“no map” and the geographic detail is removed from 
the map display (but, the airport and navaid detail will 
remain). 
The “Setup Map?” option allows you to define the 
maximum scale at which each map feature will appear. 
This provides you with complete control to minimize 
screen clutter. You can also quickly remove items from 
the map using the CLR key. 
To quickly declutter the map display, press the CLR key 
momentarily (as often as needed) to select the desired 
amount of map detail. 
The right-hand side of the map page includes four 
user-selectable data fields. By default, the displayed 
data is: destination waypoint name (WPT), desired 
track (DTK), distance to destination waypoint (DIS) 
and ground speed (GS). Any of these data fields may 
be changed to display a different data type. You may 
also remove the four data fields from the map to show 
a larger map image. 
The CLR key allows you to quickly declutter the map display, providing four levels of 
map detail. Note the “-1” and “-2” (“-3” is  also provided) suffix designations above, 
indicating each successive declutter level. 
Declutter LevelDetail
-1Removes all land data except rivers 
and lakes. 
-2Removes all airspace except Prohibit-
ed and Restricted. Also removes NDBs, 
Intersections, and User waypoints. 
-3Removes all data except the Active 
Flight Plan, Prohibited airspace ,rivers, 
lakes, traffic, and lightning data (also 
equivalent to “-A” approach mode 
decluttering.

Map Panning
Panning allows you to move the map beyond its 
current limits without adjusting the map range. When 
you select the panning function — by pressing the 
small right knob — a target pointer will flash on the 
map display. A window will also appear at the top of 
the map display showing the latitude/longitude posi-
tion of the pointer, plus the bearing and distance to 
the pointer from your present position. 
To select the panning function and pan the map 
display: 
1.  Press  the small right knob to activate the 
panning target pointer. 
2.  Turn the small right knob to move up (turn 
clockwise) or down (counterclockwise). 
3.   Turn the large right knob to move right (turn 
clockwise) or left (counterclockwise). 
4.   To cancel the panning function and return to 
your present position, press the small right 
knob. 
When the target pointer is placed on an object, 
the name of that object will be highlighted (even if 
the name wasn’t originally displayed on the map). 
This feature applies to airports, navaids, user-created 
waypoints, roads, lakes, rivers — almost everything 
displayed on the map except route lines. 
When an airport, navaid, or user waypoint is 
selected on the map display, you can review informa-
tion about the waypoint or designate the waypoint as 
your direct-to destination. 
To review information for an on-screen airport, 
navaid or user waypoint: 
1.   Use the panning function (as described above) 
to place the target pointer on a waypoint. 
2.   Press ENT to display the waypoint information 
page(s) for the selected waypoint. 
3.  Press CLR to exit the information page(s).

Map Direct-To
To designate an on-screen airport, navaid or user 
waypoint as your direct-to destination: 
1.   Use the panning function (see previous page) 
to place the target pointer on a waypoint. 
2.   Press direct-to key to display the select direct-
to waypoint page, with the selected waypoint 
already listed. 
3.  Press ENT twice to confirm the selection and 
begin navigating to the waypoint. 
The direct-to function can be used anywhere on 
the map. If nothing currently exists at the crosshair 
position, a new waypoint (called “+MAP”) will be cre-
ated at the target pointer location before the direct-to 
is initiated. 
Airspace Information on the Map
When a special-use or controlled airspace bound-
ary appears on the map display, you can quickly 
retrieve information — such as floor/ceiling limits and 
controlling agency — directly from the map. 
To view airspace information for an on-screen 
special-use or controlled airspace: 
1.   Use the panning function (see previous page) 
to place the target pointer on an open area 
within the boundaries of an airspace. If the 
area is congested and it is difficult to select an 
open area, you may need to zoom in or press 
CLR to make the selection easier. 
2.   Press ENT to display an options menu. 
3.   “Review Airspace?” should already be high-
lighted, if not select it with the small right 
knob. Press ENT to display the airspace infor-
mation page for the selected airspace. 
To display airspace frequencies: 
1.   While viewing the airspace information display 
in the above example, turn the large right 
knob to highlight “Frequencies?” and press 
ENT. Press CLR to return to the airspace 
information page. 
2.   Press CLR to exit the airspace information 
page. Press the small right knob (CRSR) to 
exit panning.
