LORAN TD Setup
If the active GRI Chain, secondary stations, or offsets have been
changed since the waypoint was created, the waypoint now
references the active GRI chain and secondary stations and adjust
the TD coordinates accordingly. Remember that the GPS is not
relying on the LORAN signal for navigation and actually converts
the TD coordinate to a useful latitude and longitude coordinate
before storing the waypoint to memory or using it for navigation.
Because of this, the unit can navigate to a TD coordinate anywhere
in the world.
You must know your GRI chain number and/or secondary stations
to create a LORAN TD location. For more information read our
LORAN TD Position Format Handbook, available at the Garmin
Web site, at
www.garmin.com/support/userManual.html.
