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

changed since the waypoint was created, the waypoint will now reference
the active GRI-chain and secondary stations and adjust the TD coordi-
nates accordingly. Remember that the GPSmap 76CS is not relying on
the LORAN signal for navigation and actually converts the TD coordinate
to a useful LAT/LON 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 please read our
LORAN TD Position Format Handbook, available at the Garmin Web site,
at www.garmin.com/support/userManual.html.
