GNS 530 WAAS - BRG?

[M20E-TN 0]

Hi Ed,

 

This is my first post, and I must start it with a big THANKS for making your fine "gauge" even better with REALNAV/WAAS.

I also must ask for assistance (forgive the redundancy if this has been answered, as I haven't found it). Please direct me to the correct section in the 530W Series Pilot's Guide & Reference where BRG is covered. I find TRK, but not BRG. Again, apologies if I need an eyewear (or brain) update.

Bearing
The compass direction from a position to a destination, measured to the nearest degree (also call an azimuth). In a GPS receiver, bearing usually refers to the direction to a waypoint.

If you're asking how to display the BRG value, it is one of the selectable data fields on the NAV (map) display.

Bert and Ed, thanks to you both. Ed, is page 192 from the 530W Series Pilot's Guide and Reference what you're referring to? (sorry to seem dense, but maybe it's cuz I am!  :unsure: ):

No... page 31 "Selecting Desired On-Screen Data". I will point out that BRG isn't very useful as compared to DTK when using a GNS... but... :shrug:
