    The title says it all. What is the function of CWS button/annunciator? It seems like it should be similar to Boeing's 737s CWS mode, however no matter how I try it seems to have no effect on FD/AP system?

    (for example video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baAUrAJWJqE)

    CWS is not a function of GPS unit, it's a function of autopilot. In our case - KFC325 unit. Here is the screen from the docs for 700/850 version (from here) . Moreoover, when I press CWS button on the yoke, EADI correctly indicates it with white "CWS" annunciators, but apparently it just has no effect on AP afterwards (and even when CWS is pushed in, the AP is still actively flying the plane)
