Garmin Apollo SL50, User Manual

Page: 24 / 134

Note
The GPS antenna must be able to “see”
each satellite it is tracking. If a satellite is
“shaded” by the wing or fuselage during a
turn, it may temporarily lose track of that
satellite. If this happens, or if the geometry
of the satellites available is poor, the unit
may temporarily calculate a “2D Fix” and
Nav information will not be available. A
NAV INVALID FLAG will be generated and
all Nav information will be dashed.
Entering a
Destination
Waypoint
With a seed position and the current UTC time and

navigating a trip. Prepare for trip navigation by
entering a destination waypoint.
Using the Nearest Waypoint Function
