I can only speak to a 530. In a hold in lieu of PT, it automatically

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.


The positive course guidance in a 400/500W is dependent upon having a
roll steering autopilot. I doubt your 182 has a roll steering
autopilot.


Yes, the 182T does. Its not even 1 year old yet. It has a nice KAP140
autopilot. Totally hands off. Flys a full ILS down to minimums w/o
touching it. The only thing it doesn't do is fly the hold.


It will most likely fly the hold with a W mod.
