The minimum and maximum look forward times (configurable per airframe and on the Map Setup
page for the ‘Map’ group) determines the minimum and maximum radial distances to display from the
current aircraft position when in north up orientation or from the map center when in heading up,
desired track up, or track up orientations based upon the aircraft’s ground speed.
• The maximum look forward time is the basis for which the maximum zoom range necessary to display
the active waypoint, if possible, is determined.
• The minimum look forward time is the basis for which the minimum zoom range necessary to display
the active waypoint, if possible, is determined.
• The time out time (configurable on the Map Setup page for the “Map” group) determines the amount of
time that auto zoom is allowed to be overridden by a manual adjustment of the range knob unless the
time out value is zero, in which case the override condition never times out.
• The active waypoint is visible on the map in a lower zoom range or the current zoom range exceeds the
maximum zoom range.
• The current zoom range exceeds the minimum zoom range.
