• ‘Position/Map Datum’ - Configures position
readout information to the desired position
format. The map datum used in the GNC 420
is WGS 84. Note that using a map datum that
does not match the charts can result in significant
differences in position information. When using
the paper charts for reference only, the GNC 420
still provides correct navigation guidance to the
waypoints contained in the database, regardless of
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.
