Peter, In the US, the new KLN94 GPS has all the non-gps approaches in
it's
database for reference. So you can load an ILS (you get a disclaimer
that
it's only to be used as reference) and use it as situational awareness.
But
if you need a substitute for DME, the KLN94 manual says you should use
the
ILS identifier (like KYIP) and load it from the intersection page of the
GPS
rather than loading the approach. If you do that method, you could
probably
set the GPS to OBS mode and twist the OBS to the inbound heading. ...

I never found anyone who knew what the OBS mode did - not even the
instructor on a KLN94B all-day course I went on. So I use only the leg
mode, and use the GPS only en-route. Don't laugh


Peter.

Whatever gets you there safely :-)

Was there a KLN94B? There is an older model that's a KLN89B. If that's the
one you have, it's a somewhat different animal.

Correction in my earlier post. KYIP is the name of the airport. I meant
IYIP the identifier for ILS Rwy 5R at KYIP. Thanks for catching that. ...
