The ‘auto mag’ setting will automatically calculate
the magnetic variation based upon your current
position.

When the ‘Auto’ CDI setting is selected, the
GPS 155XL will automatically change the CDI
scale when you are within 30 nm of a departure
or arrival airport. The CDI setting will be reset to
‘Auto’ during approach operations, to provide a
smooth CDI transition from 5.0 nm to 0.3 nm
scales.
