Garmin GNS 430 Quick Refence - page 4
Screen Layout (windows)
The GNS 430’s display is divided into three separate “windows” (or
screen areas). The left 1/4 of the display provides a COM window (top two
lines) and a VLOC window (bottom two lines) The right 3/4 of the display
consists of a GPS window, which is where you’ll find the various navigation,
waypoint information and settings “pages”.
Each unique screen of information is referred to as a page. Pages are
typically selected using the small (
a
) and large (
d
) right knobs—with the
cursor removed from the GPS window. See the following page for details
on arrangement of the GNS 430’s main pages.
Cursors
There are two separate cursors: a tuning cursor and a GPS window
cursor. The tuning cursor is used to select the standby COM or VLOC
frequency. If desired, press the small left knob (
v
) to move the tuning
cursor to the VLOC window. Then, use the small (
f
) and large (
h
) left
knobs to select the desired frequency. The COM (
W
) and VLOC (
V
) flip-
flop keys are used to activate the selected frequency.
Frequency Selection
1. If the tuning cursor is not currently in
the desired window (COM or VLOC),
press the small left knob
(
v
)
momen-
tarily.
2. Rotate the large left knob (
h
) to
select the desired megahertz (MHz)
value. For example, the 117 portion
of the frequency 117.80.
3. Rotate the small left knob
(
f
)
to
select the desired kilohertz (kHz)
value. For example, the .80 portion
of the frequency 117.80.
4. To activate the selected frequency,
press the corresponding flip-flop
key
W
for COM frequencies or
V
for VLOC frequencies.
Data Entry
Data is entered in the GPS win-
dow using the large (
d
) and small
(
a
) right knobs. The large right
knob (
d
) is used to move the cursor
about the page. The small right
knob (
a

characters for the highlighted cursor
location (see illustration).
