• DISTANCE TO GO: The total distance remaining along the flight plan.
• DISTANCE TO WPT - Distance to Waypoint: Distance to the currently active waypoint.
• ETA (FINAL): The estimated time of arrival at the final waypoint in the flight plan. This
time does not account for time zone changes. If GPS ground speed is <25 knots, the Plan
Ground Speed setting (MAP MENU > MAP MENU > FLIGHT PLAN OPTIONS) is used so
that you can see approximate travel times while on the ground.
• ETA (NEXT): The estimated time of arrival at the next waypoint in the flight plan. This
time does not account for time zone changes. If GPS ground speed is <25 knots, the Plan
Ground Speed setting (MAP MENU > MAP MENU > FLIGHT PLAN OPTIONS) is used so
that you can see approximate travel times while on the ground.
• ETE (FINAL): The remaining estimated time enroute to the final waypoint in the flight
plan. If GPS ground speed is <25 knots, the Plan Ground Speed setting (MAP MENU >
MAP MENU > FLIGHT PLAN OPTIONS) is used so that you can see approximate travel
times while on the ground. Display switches from hh:mm to mm:ss automatically.
• ETE (NEXT): The remaining estimated time enroute to the next waypoint in the flight
plan. If GPS ground speed is <25 knots, the Plan Ground Speed setting (MAP MENU >
MAP MENU > FLIGHT PLAN OPTIONS) is used so that you can see approximate travel
times while on the ground. Display switches from hh:mm to mm:ss automatically.
• GPS ALTITUDE: The current GPS altitude. Note that this is MSL, not AGL. This number
may differ significantly from your barometric (indicated) altimeter due to variations in
the GPS data model, GPS accuracy, and nonstandard variations in outside pressure.
• GROUND SPEED: The aircraft’s current GPS ground speed.
• NEXT COURSE: The direction from the next waypoint to the waypoint after that in a
flight plan.
• NEXT WAYPOINT: The waypoint after the current active waypoint in the flightplan.
• VS REQ'D DESTINATION: Vertical Speed Required to Destination shows the vertical
speed necessary to descend from the current position and altitude to a defined target
position and altitude above and before your final waypoint at the current ground speed.
This information is also displayed as a magenta line on the vertical speed indicator.
