NAVCOM Page
The NAVCOM Page provides a list of the airport 
communication and navigation frequencies at your 
departure, en route and arrival airports. The NAVCOM 
Page makes selection of the frequencies you’ll need 
along your flight plan quick and convenient. If you do 
not have an active flight plan with a departure airport, 
the NAVCOM Page displays the frequencies for the 
airport nearest your departure position.

page shows the satellites currently in view as well as 
their respective positions. The outer circle of the sky 
view represents the horizon (with north at the top 
of the circle); the inner circle represents 45° above 
the horizon and the center point shows the position 
directly overhead.

Dead Reckoning
Dead Reckoning
Dead reckoning is the process of continuing navi-
gation using your last known position and speed after 
a loss of GPS navigation while on an active flight plan. 
 CAUTION: Navigation using dead reckoning is there-
fore only an estimate and should not be used as the sole means of navigation. Use other means of naviga
-
tion, if possible. 
Dead reckoning becomes active after a loss of GPS 
position while you are navigating using an active flight 
plan.

of setting a course to a waypoint. Once a direct-to is 
activated, the unit establishes a point-to-point course 
line (geodesic path) from your present position to the 
selected direct-to waypoint. The unit will provide navi
-
gation guidance to the selected direct-to waypoint until 
the direct-to is manually cancelled or replaced by a new 
active leg or direct-to.
