Page 1 - The CDI screen shows a course deviation indicator. In this example, the aircraft is on the ground and stationary. No CDI is displayed. This would be a default view after system powerup. Page 1 - In this example of the CDI screen, a destination is shown and the aircraft is in flight. The triangle represents the aircraft and the green line represents the course line to the Harris (HRS) VOR.  
Page 2 - The moving map shows the aircraft on the ground at KPDK. Page 2 - In this example, the aircraft is in flight over KPDK, enroute to the HRS VOR.  
Page 3 - The terrain screen is color-coded to show an aircraft's proximity to terrain. Since this airplane is on the ground, everything is red indicating a terrain warning.
Note: Terrain capability is not available on all models.
Page 3 - In this example, the airplane is in flight at 4,000 feet MSL. The closest terrain is roughly 3,000 feet below. Thus, no color-coding shown.  
Page 4 - The NAVCOM page provides a list of frequencies for departure, enroute, and arrival airports. Here, no route has been entered so it simply defaults to the first airport in the database. Page 4 - If KAVL had been chosen as the destination airport, the NAVCOM screen would look like this.

If your unit does not include Terrain, this will be Page 3.

 
Page 5 - The position page provides current data about your position. Note that it shows the nearest airport and its location at the bottom of the screen.      
Page 6 - The satellite status page provides a visual reference of satellite coverage and GPS receiver status.      
Page 7 - The vertical navigation page allows creation of a 3D flight profile. Note that ground speed must be greater than 35 knots to use this feature.
