Loran TD
Position Format
4
Loran C users can now use their TD’s in GARMIN GPS systems.
The new
Loran TD
position format provides users with the ability
to create waypoints using TD’s. When a waypoint is created using
the
Loran TD
position format, a background conversion is per-
formed on the TD’s. This conversion allows the GPS to navigate to
the TD’s location. Don’t worry, this conversion process will main-
tain the integrity of the TD location and has proven to be accurate
to within 30 meters most of the time. The new waypoint can be
used for immediate navigation and/or stored for future use.
Let’s take a look at how to select and setup the
Loran TD
Position Format. The Position Format field is located in the
Navigation Setup menu. Refer to your GPS Owner’s Manual for
directions on locating the Navigation Setup Menu.
