Kurt,Manu button is context specific. What menu button does depends on the current page - you got to refer to the manual for details.Michael J.

Kurt,I "lowered myself" to actually turning on the Garmin GPS in FS9 and I can categorically state that this unit is a "butchered" version of the real stuff. The quality of graphics, maps is horrible, some important features are missing so no wonder people can't find much use for this instruments. So the GPS like everything else in FS that relates to aircraft panels is unfortunately done to fairly low standards. So you either have to live with what you have or perhaps purchase the Reality-XP gauge. There is some freeware GPS also. No, I would not use the GPS that Microsoft included in the box.Michael J.

Thanks for telling me. I guess I will break down and buy the Reality XP version and hope for the best. That's a shame that Microsoft screws this up. It would have been better if they hadn;t have a gps at all or at least the old one. Is the GPS guage that is freeware in avsim per chance? Also do you think Reality XP will create a FMC? What other venders would you suggest to have a FMC. In case you haven't noticed I really am an avid simmer who likes reality that is close to flying a real airliner. Thanks again for trying the GPS Michael. I guess that confirms my feelings that I just can't use it or use the bare abilities because it is a very slimmed down version of the actual GPS should be.

Hi Dave,Thanks for the information, works great.

>guage that is freeware in avsim per chance? Also do you think>Reality XP will create a FMC? They are rumored to have started on the project but nothing is definite. You should rather go to their forum and pick up more info.I am afraid I can't tell you more about the freeware GPS - by using the search you should find more info about it. But I can only tell you Reality-XP's GNS530 works (and looks) exactly like the real thing.Michael J.http://www.reality-xp.com/community/nr/rsc/rxp-higher.jpg

. . . "exported" from the Garmin to the aircraft's radio by the hit of a button or somehow? When you set up your selected approach and go to the NAV page you can scroll down to see the rwy options and their frequencies, but nothing I do moves them to the radio for actual use--so I end up closing Garmin and manually entering the numbers . . .Noel
