Garmin GNC 300 - Manual (Page 70)

Whenever you perform a direct-to, the GNC 300 will set a point-to-point great
circle course to your destination. You can also manually define the magnetic course to
your destination with the GNC 300’s Course Select feature. The course select feature
is available on the bottom line of the direct-to confirmation page whenever the
external GPS SEQ switch is in the ‘AUTO’ position.
To manually set a course:
1. Set/confirm that the external GPS SEQ switch is in the ‘AUTO’ position.
2. With the flashing cursor over the desired destination waypoint, press the
D
key. The
direct-to confirmation page will appear.
3. Rotate
O
to place the flashing cursor on the course select field.
4. Use
K
to begin entry of the selected course (the
O
and
K
knobs may be used once
you have started editing the course select field).
5. Press
E
to accept the course, and
E
again to acknowledge the ‘ok?’ prompt.
The GNC 300 will now use the selected course for your CDI and DTK steering
guidance. To reset the course to a GPS-calculated direct course from your present
position, simply press
D, followed by E.
