changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment.
Although the GPSCOM 170 is a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID),
any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and therefore, become unsafe.

tion, carefully review and understand all aspects of this Owner’s Manual and
thoroughly practice operation using the simulator mode prior to actual use.
When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the GPSCOM 170 to all
available navigation sources including the information from other NAVAIDs,
visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before
continuing navigation.
