If the active GRI Chain, secondary stations, or offsets

have been changed since the waypoint was created,

the waypoint references the active GRI-chain and

secondary stations and adjusts the TD coordinates

accordingly. Remember that the eTrex is not relying

on the LORAN signal for navigation and actually

converts the TD coordinate to a useful latitude and

longitude coordinate 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.
You must know your GRI chain number and

secondary stations to create a LORAN TD position.

For more information, read our LORAN TD Position

Format Handbook, available on the Garmin Web site,
