Loran TD Setup
The LORAN Position Format fi eld is located under the Units tab in the Main Menu. The ‘LORAN

Stations, and TD Offsets.

the desired setting and press

key to return to the Main Menu.
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.
For more information on Loran TDs, you may download GARMIN’s “Loran TD Position Format
Handbook” from the GARMIN web site at http://www.garmin.com/support/userManual.html.
