Default Garmin 480 features (Was: Garmin 530 Fatal Error)

The GNS480 (and maybe all TSO 146 navigators, I don't know) have the
concept of a leg that terminates at an altitude, which will be the first
leg of such a missed approach procedure.




How is that displayed on the map? Does the map automatically shift
the next
leg to "direct to the next waypoint" from the location at which the
altitude is reached? What waypoint is displayed in the climbing leg?



http://www.garmin.com/manuals/GNS480_PilotsGuide.pdf (7+ meg download)

see p. 66(74 of 158) Leg Types
p. 68(76 of 158) Heading to an Altitude
p. 80(88 of 158) Flying the Missed Approach

The page number is the Garmin page numbering, and the (nn of 158) is the
pdf page number.


This sounds like an incredibly useful feature.

There's a departure procedure at KTEB that's even more complex than
this. From runways 1 and 6, this feature would cover it. But from 19,
the
procedure is runway heading until 800, then right to 280. Maintain 1500
until crossing the TEB R-250 & passing TEB 2.5 DME, then climb to 2000.

Note the "TEB R-250 & passing TEB 2.5 DME" "waypoint". Can the 480
handle
this?



Sorry, I don't have time to check on this right now, but maybe you can
answer this question with the information from the references above.
I'll try to look at this later.


I've just had a week off and had a little time to look at this. It appears that
the answer is that this departure procedure is not in the 480's database, same
as for all DPs that are strictly "pilot nav". There is no GPS guidance for this
departure procedure. This DP is all about headings to fly, no navigational guidance.
