SkyView HDX Pilot’s User Guide – Revision B 5-1
5. MAP and VFR GPS Navigator Operation
This section outlines what users should expect from SkyView HDX’s Moving Map system and
covers operations that are specific to this function.
SkyView HDX’s MAP requires valid GPS and terrain data to function as a real time,
look down topographical map. Aviation data is further required to show airspaces,
airports, airport identifiers and other features overlaid on top of the map. More
information about these three requirements is contained in this section.
MAP functions are temporarily unavailable immediately after boot up while the
databases are loading. This allows SkyView HDX to display its primary screen
substantially quicker so that you can utilize the ENGINE and PFD pages as quickly as
possible. A message will appear on the map “MAP UNAVAILABLE WHILE
DATABASES LOADING” and the map will be available once the message clears.
Features Overview
The following features are enabled when SkyView HDX has the appropriate high resolution
terrain database installed for the region of the world you are flying in, and an aviation database
