March 14, 20233 yr There are two ways to move around the map of the G3000/5000: a basic one and a precise one. Because I am not sure if everyone knows about that precise mode I thought it would be a nice idea to post it here. Basic 1. Click on the zoom knob of the GTC (lower left knob): the GTC screen will turn into a touchpad and you will see a mouse cursor appear on the map. 2. Click and drag on the touchpad to move the cursor around on the map: once it gets near the edge you will begin to move the map into that direction. 3. The zoom knob is still functional in this mode. 4. Click on the zoom knob again to exit the touchpad mode. Precise 1. Go to the GTC's Flight Plan page and click on Flight Plan Options. 2. Enable 'Show on map': you will now see a perfectly zoomed out view of your entire flightplan. 3. Go back to the Flight Plan page (click on Back) and click on any waypoint you want: you will get a perfectly zoomed in view of the segment leading towards that waypoint. 4. You can also use the arrow buttons on the lower right side of the GTC screen to step up and down through the entire lightplan. 5. The zoom knob is still functional in this mode 6. Even the basic method described above is functional in this mode. 7. The quickest way to get out of this precise mode is to press the Home button: this will automatically disable 'Show on map' on the Flight Plan Options page (without you having to go there: this saves you a few extra clicks 😉 ).
