LORAN TD Setup

If the active GRI Chain, secondary stations, or offsets have been

changed since the waypoint was created, the waypoint now

references 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 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/or secondary stations

to create a LORAN TD location. For more information read our

LORAN TD Position Format Handbook, available at the Garmin

Web site, at
