Position (lat/lon)
The position page displays your present latitude and longitude, altitude and a reference way-
point field; and is also used to enter the altimeter setting during approach operations. The altitude
and reference waypoint fields are also selectable (see Section 1 for more information) to allow you
to configure the unit to your own preferences. The default settings are:
• Altitude— Your present GPS altitude
• Present Position— Latitude and longitude displayed in degrees/minutes
• Reference Waypoint— The bearing and distance to the nearest airport
The position page is one of six pages available under the GNC 300' s NAV key:
