So I may be hallucinating, but I swore that I saw somewhere (rev. 15.4.7, IIRC) that I could swap the knob functions so that the MAP knob would be on the left and the BARO/etc. knob would be on the right. I've searched the Menu, Display, and Setup screens, as well as scoured the Installation manual (Rev. AG) and the Pilot's User Guide. No dice - can't find where to swap these things.

Am I nuts? Is this not possible, or am I just blind?

Thanks.

The Map knob goes with the map screen depending which side it’s on.
I thought I tried that to see if it would move with the map, but I don't recall that it did. I'll have to try it again. But if I want the map knob on the left when the map is FULL screen, then what? It seems to always have it on the right... Like I said, I thought I saw somewhere that you could swap the knob functionality left/right, but for the life of me, can't find it...

Try MENU > MAP SETUP > MAP MODE > FULL SCREEN MAP KNOB LOCATION. Options are LEFT or RIGHT.
Is that what you are seeking?

It sure as heck sounds like it, and now that I know what I'm looking for, there it is in the Pilot's Users Guide. Thanks a million - I knew I had seen it somewhere!
Excellent news, Marc!

After I first installed and got my HDX system setup & commissioned, I took a screenshot (buttons 2 + 7) of every menu, sub-menu and set-up screen. I brought the USB stick home, copied and labeled each image onto my home computer for reference. Very handy when searching for setup items, such as what you were looking for. Also a great way to learn the system without being in the plane!

THANKS! I've been putting the engine page up next to the map to drive the button left so I can more easily reach it. :)
