• ‘Position/Map Datum’ - Configures position
readout information to the desired position
format. The GNS 430 uses the map datum WGS
84. Note that using a map datum that does not
match the charts used by the pilot can result in
significant differences in position information. If
the pilot is using the paper charts for reference
only, the GNS 430 still provides correct navigation
guidance to the waypoints contained in the
database, regardless of the datum differences.
• ‘Date/Time’ - Provides settings for time format
(local or UTC; 12- or 24-hour) and time offset.
The time offset is used to define current local
time. UTC (also called GMT or Zulu) date
and time are calculated directly from the GPS
satellites’ signals and cannot be changed. To use
local time, simply designate the offset by adding
or subtracting the correct number of hours.
