Navigation Basics

Estimated Time En Route (Ete)

ETE is to the current TO (destination) waypoint from your present position based on the current ground speed. The units shown are in hours and minutes, 00:00 to 99:59, and in seconds when less than one hour is displayed. If the ground speed is less than or equal to 5 knots, the GPS receiver does not have a valid position, or there is no TO waypoint, the ETE value will be shown as dashes. If there is no TO waypoint, the TO identifier location will be replaced by dashes.

Bearing (Brg)

Bearing is the angle from your present position to the TO waypoint. Bearing is shown from 0 to 359 degrees in one degree increments. Bearing is computed using the magnetic variation at the Present Position. The Bearing value will be dashed if the FROM or TO waypoints are blank or the GPS receiver does not have a valid position.

Range (Rge)

The distance from your present position to the TO waypoint. Units can be set as either nautical miles or kilometers in the Nav Info section of the System functions (see page 6). Nautical mile units are 0.00 to

9.00nm in 0.01 nm increments, 10.0 to 99.9 nm in 0.1 nm increments, and 100 to 9999 nm in 1 nm increments. Kilometer units are 0.00 to 99.99 km in

0.01km increments, 100.0 to 999.9 km in 0.1 km increments, and 1000 to 9999 km in 1 km increments. The Range value will be dashed if the FROM or TO waypoints are blank or the GPS receiver does not have a valid position.
