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. 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
103). Nautical mile units are 0.00 to 9.00 nm 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 0.01 km 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.
