Loran TD Setup
When inputting Loran coordinates, you must have the correct chain number, secondary
station identifi ers (fi rst and second), and proper map datum available for the TD
coordinates you input into the GPS unit. For better position accuracy, navigate to the
Loran point, then re-mark the point with a GPS unit in LAT/LON format.
To setup Loran TD from the Main Menu:
1. Using the
ARROW KEYPAD
, highlight the ‘Units’ tab and then the ‘Position Format’ fi eld and
press
ENTER/MARK

If the active GRI Chain, secondary stations or offsets have been changed since the waypoint was
created, the waypoint will now reference 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 LAT/LON coordinate (in the background) 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.
