The map range can be set to one of a number of preset values to maintain the present map centre and the current aircraft position on the map.
The aircraft track is shown as a line drawn from the centre towards the edge of the display. As the edge of the display is reached, the scale of the map automatically changes to the next available. When the aircraft approaches the edge of the largest map, the map mode changes automatically to Aircraft - North Up (with the aircraft at the centre).
This mode is accessed from the Radio Aids and Range Bearing icons on the Map Toolbar, and allows you to select a feature as the map centre (eg., a radio navigation station). All other display characteristics are as in Terminal Mode.
