Garmin 430 question

You can title the waypoint "PD270" or something and simply insert it into your flight plan. The flight plan would then be: PDZ PD270 AHEIM When you create the user waypoint, you will notice that you can leave the distance field blank and define the waypoint by two different radials. I tried it on the 430 simulator and it seems to be doing what you hope to accomplish. Marco Would you explain how you creat a user waypoint using two radials as opposed to a radial and distance? I have a 530W but expect the 430 would do the same. On Page 135 of the manual it says you can do what Marco says. There is a line for Ref Wpt, RADial and DIS. Leave distance blank Next line allows entry of another waypoint (e.g. vor) with blank for Radial. Works fine. Have you actually tried this with your 530W? It does not work in the 530 trainer. |

Garmin 430 question
I verified that it works in both the 430 and 430W trainer. I can't imagine
the 530 trainer(s) would be programmed with different logic than the 430's. As a shortcut, you can insert the user waypoint name (as long as it is unique--in my example it was "PD270") in the desired spot in your flight plan and the unit will prompt you whether or not you would like to create a user waypoint. After pressing YES, it will take you to the user waypoint creation page. Once you hit ENT, the unit will fill in the distance value automatically since it already has two datapoints. Hope this helps.
