Garmin GPS III Pilot - Manual (Page 49)

Many features of the GPS III Pilot are menu driven. Each of the main pages has an
options menu, allowing you to custom tailor the corresponding page to your prefer-
ences and/or select special features which specifically relate to that page.
To display the HSI Page Options, press MENU (with the HSI Page
displayed).
The following options are available:
Set OBS and Hold— allows you to manually define the course to your destina-
tion waypoint. Once selected, the GPS III Pilot will use the OBS course setting for
steering guidance with the CDI and desired course pointer.
NOTE: When using the GPS III Pilot’s route features, ‘Set OBS and Hold’ will pre-
vent the unit from automatically sequencing to the next route waypoint. To maintain
the OBS course and retain automatic sequencing, you must also select the ‘Release
Hold’ option, described on the following page.
To manually set a course to the destination waypoint:
1. Highlight ‘Set OBS and Hold’ and press ENTER. An OBS data field will appear on the
HSI display.
2. Select the desired OBS course using the LEFT/RIGHT keys on the rocker keypad and
press ENTER. The D-bar on the CDI and the desired course pointer will now provide
steering guidance to the selected course.
To cancel the OBS course and reset a direct course to the waypoint, press
GOTO and ENTER (or re-activate the route).
The ‘Set OBS and Hold’
option allows you to specify
an inbound heading to a
destination waypoint.
Use the rocker keypad to
select the desired OBS
heading. Note the heading at
bottom center of HSI display
(155° in this example).
