GNS430W: Parallel offset course feature
That parallel offset feature has been on every GPS I've had. Thought I
read somewhere it was required for IFR boxes. The Mid Continent CDI's have a light on the face when you are flying an offset. Never used that feature, don't know why i ever would. Peter R. wrote: Just picked up my aircraft with the GNS430W upgrade and was reading the manual to see what new features are now included. In there I discovered the feature that allows the pilot to purposely fly a parallel offset course anywhere from 1 to 99 miles. The only tedious characteristic of this feature (IMO) is that the pilot must set this option every time a flight plan is activated, rather than having the option "stick" across flights. Thus, over time it seems to me a pilot may eventually opt to not set it. Anyone use this feature? I am curious about its popularity.
