I want to learn to handle the Garmin 530 in DF's Baron 530 RXP.Is there something like a short tutorial for the Garmin 530 ? I've downloaded the whole manual from Garmin both its huge for a start.Best Regards-Lars

No, but after you read the first few essential pages (I think they call it "takeoff tour") you can simply go and read about features that interest you. You don't have to read the whole thing. By the way, it is a very easy reading. Also download the Garmin trainer - it is much easier to learn while playing with it.Michael J.http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/pmdg_744F.jpghttp://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6-banner-beta.jpg

There's also the smaller guide which is only 16 pages. http://www.garmin.com/manuals/GNS530_QuickReferenceGuide.pdfTony=http://www.flightsim-bevs.com]

Hi Lars,Here's a tutorial which takes you from start to finish. It's rather long, but very detailed.http://www.avweb.com/news/reviews/182453-1.htmlJim Karnhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/pmdg_pf.jpg

They have everything you need.My recommendation would be...to go to Garmin site and order their GPS 430/530 Video. Its $25 or something + Postage. Its simply fantastic video loaded with information.. its so much better than those fluff DVD that you get from Sporty's for $40.http://shop.garmin.com/basket.jsp?resume%5...cts%2Fgns530%2F

Hi thereWhat a wealth of information. Thanks a lot for all those good links. Now I know what I'm going to do in the comming weekend.-Lars ;-)
