SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software
SkyView Pilot’s User Guide - Revision Q 7-59
 MAP MODE – Use these settings to specify when the map is displayed in “Track Up” vs.
“North Up” orientations. Additionally, you can choose whether VOR directions are
shown as “bearings” (the direction the VOR is relative to the aircraft position) or
“radials” (what radial the aircraft is on relative to the VOR, with the published deviation
of the VOR station correctly taken into account, like would be seen on a sectional) when
listed on the NRST page.
 NEAREST LIST OPTIONS – Use these settings to choose whether or not the NRST list
shows full airport names or not, and to adjust what airports the nearest list FILTER
button affects.
 TRACK LINE OPTIONS – Use these settings to set up the distance and time markings
shown on the ground track line.
 “VS REQ’D OPTIONS” – Use these settings to configure the Vertical Speed Required to
Destination Info block on the map. Select the distance from and the distance above the
last waypoint in the SkyView flight plan and SkyView will continuously compute what
vertical speed you would need to maintain from your present position to converge on
the point above and before the point specified. This information is reflected in the VS
REQ'D DESTINATION Info Item and on the vertical speed tape on the PFD.
Map Info Items
 MAIN MENU > MAP > MAP MENU> INFO ITEMS – Use these settings to display up to 10
informational items along the left and right sides of the Map Page Items available for
display include:
o Bearing to Waypoint
o Cross Track
 This is the shortest possible distance that can possibly be traveled that
will put you back on course. Essentially, it is the perpendicular distance
from the current location to the course line.
o Current Location
o Destination Waypoint
 Identifier of the final waypoint in your flight plan.
o Distance to Go
 The total distance remaining along the flight plan.
o Distance to Waypoint
 Distance to the currently active waypoint.
o 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, your Vno speed setting is used for so that you can see approximate
travel times while on the ground.
o ETA (Next)
