Are we speaking of the same thing? In the 480 you tell it to hold, give
it the turn direction, leg length etc and it flys the hold. I've not
seen that in any other GPS product.
No, I think you are speaking of holds not in the database. Sounds like
the 480 does a nice job of that. I am speaking of charted approach
chart holds.
Did this change in the 430 with WAAS? From my teaching in the 430 and
G1000 when you cross the holding fix it just goes into suspend mode
(with a suggested entry procedure). The 480 actually figures the entry
procedure and flys it, you never touch the yoke. Does the 430 WAAS unit
fly the entry procedure?
