If the active GRI Chain, secondary stations, or offsets have been
changed since the waypoint was created, the waypoint will now
reference the active GRI chain and secondary stations and adjust the
TD coordinates accordingly. Remember that the GPS is not relying
on the LORAN signal for navigation and actually converts the
TD coordinate to a useful latitude and longitude coordinate before
storing the waypoint to memory or using it for navigation. Because
of this, the unit can navigate to a TD coordinate anywhere in the
world.
You must know your GRI chain number and secondary stations
to create a LORAN TD position. For more information, read our
LORAN TD Position Format Handbook, available at the Garmin
Web site, at
www.garmin.com/support/userManual.html.
