but mostly we fly the ILS/MAP mode while we get "Track" reading on the top.

The basic reasoning is that if you're in VOR (selected) mode, you're back in Raw Data without the LNAV facilities usually available from FMC / FMS / EFIS, i.e. the system has no 'knowledge' of TMG.
Isn't ILS "raw data" also?

Thanks for any insight.

P.S. BTW, what's TMG?
