Keyboard
The other keys perform a variety of functions. When the text refers to a
key to press, the key is shown in bold, sans serif type. For example, the
"Enter/Save" key is shown as
ENT and the "Menu" key is shown as MENU.
Menu Commands
A menu command or a menu option will appear in small capital letters,
in a bold sans serif type like this:
SYSTEM SETUP. These indicate that you
are to select this command or option from a menu or take an action of
some kind with the menu item. Text that you may need to enter or file
names you need to select are show in italic type, such as trail name.
Instructions = Menu Sequences
Most functions you perform with AirMap are described as a sequence of
keystrokes and selecting menu commands. We've written them in a
condensed manner for quick and easy reading.
For example, instructions for deleting all icons from memory would look
like this:
1. Press
MENU|↓ to DELETE MY ICONS|ENT|ENT.
2. Press ← to
YES|ENT.
3. Press
EXIT.
Translated into complete English, step 1 means: "Press the Menu key.
Next, press the down arrow key to scroll down the menu and select
(highlight) the Delete My Icons menu command. Finally, press the En-
ter key twice."
Step 2 means: "Press the left arrow key to select Yes, then press Enter."
Step 3 means: "Press the Exit key to clear the menu and return to the
Map Page."
Important Keyboard Shortcut Tip:
There are often three ways to move around an AirMap menu. For
simplicity, we've written our instructions using the Enter key (
ENT)
to complete a move from one menu to the next. However, many
commands have shortcuts that will help your fingers fly across the
keys. Almost every page menu command lets you press ← or → in-
stead of
ENT. This is always true for commands with an ellipses
(
MAP DATA…) or an arrow (GPS SETUP ►). Our menus also "wrap
around;" that is, they form a circular loop. This means when you
open a menu and need to reach the bottom command, you can get
there by pressing ↑ one time instead of holding or repeatedly
pressing ↓. A cockpit can be a busy place; practice with these short-
cuts and you can run AirMap commands faster, with less finger
movement from key to key.
