Default G430 Display/Numbers or Pictures?

Mitty,

Do you normally fly looking at Nav1 or at the map? Cruise?
Approaches? Why?


Map. Always, VFR and IFR. Why? Because all the data fields I need can
be displayed on that screen - and the map gives a ton of additional
information. The CDI is in the panel - why replicate it on the G430?

I use the map most of the time, with a few numeric fields displayed.
I'll have to try the DTK/ATK trick on an approach next time.

I do find however that my navigation is more precise when I'm on the CDI
field and less precise when I'm on the map field. With the larger scale
it takes longer to see a flight deviation.
