page would at least be useful as well as the moving map for cross =

to appropriate sectionals. As luck would have it, this particular unit =
was
dropped as a marine unit and upgraded to aviation by database change as =
well
as moving all them little buttons from the side to the bottom of the =
screen.
Kind of like changing a picture from landscape to portrait.
The first thing I did was do some research on the unit before I bid

similar.
