5-2 5.1 CDI AND NAVIGATION SUMMARY “Active From” Waypoint “Active To” Waypoint Velocity Distance Direction CDI Time/Track CDI PAGE The CDI Page displays virtually all the information you need to guide your craft. Included is a graphical course deviation indicator (CDI) which illustrates your position relative to the course.
If the GPS 100 is not navigating to a waypoint (i.e., there is no “active to” waypoint), the CDI area will indicate this condition as illustrated below. The cyclic fields, indicated by the “>” character, can be used to select the type of information you wish to see.
You may select one of four distance options: · RNG - Range. RNG is the distance from your position to the “active to” waypoint. · ATD - Along track distance. ATD is the along track distance to the “active to” waypoint. It is measured from the point on the course closest to your position.
5-5 You may display one of two time options or track: · ETE - Estimated time enroute. ETE is the time it will take to reach the “active to” waypoint based on your speed. · ETA - Estimated time of arrival. ETA is the time at which you will arrive at the “active to” waypoint based on your speed.
EPE and DOP are advisory information only and are not to be used as absolute measures of accuracy. In place of the speed and track information on line 3, you may want to calculate the range and bearing from a reference to your present position. (This information will give you a better understanding of where you are relative to a known location.
