3. BASIC GPS OPERATION
This is the first of four chapters specifically dealing with operating the
KLN 94. In this chapter you will learn the basic operation of the front
panel controls and then how to perform Direct To navigation (navigating
from your present position direct to your desired location).
3.1. COVERAGE AREA
The KLN 94 was designed to provide worldwide navigation coverage from
North 74° latitude to South 60° Latitude (figure 3-2). Outside this area,
magnetic variation must be manually entered as discussed in section
4.10, “Operation Outside the Primary Coverage Area”. See section 2.2
for the database geographical regions.
3.2. TURN-ON AND SELF TEST
Well, it’s time to get down to business and actually use the KLN 94!
Figure 3-1 can be folded out and used as a reference during the following
procedures. This is especially handy if you’re learning while away from
your GPS. The steps below take a lot of words to explain, but before you
know it, you will be “flying” through them.
NOTE: When power is applied to the KLN 94 it always “wakes up” in the
Leg mode. Only the Leg mode is described in this chapter. In this mode
the KLN 94 performs great circle navigation (the shortest distance
between two points located on the earth’s surface). The course deviation
