Garmin GPS 100AVD GPS Receiver User Manual


 
CAUTION
The GPS system is operated by the government of the United States which
is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is under
development and is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and
performance of all GPS equipment. Although the GPS 100 is a precision
electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or
misinterpreted, and therefore become unsafe. Use the GPS 100 at your own
risk. To reduce the risk, 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 GPS 100 to all available navigation sources including the information
from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety, always resolve
any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
The altitude calculated by the GPS 100 AVD is geometric height above mean
sea level and could vary significantly from altitude displayed by pressure
altimeters in aircraft. NEVER use GPS altitude for vertical navigation.
The Jeppesen database incorporated in the GPS 100 AVD must be updated
regularly in order to ensure that its information is current. GARMIN issues
an update approximately every 28 days. Contact GARMIN or your local
GARMIN aviation dealer for more information on GPS 100 AVD database
updates. Pilots using an out-of-date database do so entirely at their own risk.
