Position Format—Allows you to choose from different 

grid formats. The default position format, ‘hddd°mm.

mmm’ displays the latitude and longitude in degrees 

and minutes and is most commonly used. The following 

additional formats are available:
hddd.ddddd°—latitude/longitude in decimal degrees; 

hddd°mm.mmm’—latitude/longitude in decimal 

numbers; hddd°mm’ss.s”—latitude/longitude in degrees, 

minutes, seconds; British Grid; Dutch Grid; EOV 

Hungarian Grid; Finnish Grid; German Grid; Icelandic 

Grid; India Zones; Irish Grids; Loran TD; Maidenhead; 

MGRS; New Zealand; QNG Grid; RT90; South 

African Grid; Swedish Grid; Swiss Grid; Taiwan Grid; 

US National Grid; UTM/UpS - Universal Transverse 

Mercator / Universal Polar Stereographic grids; W 

Malayan RSO; and User UTM Grid.

When creating new waypoints using LORAN TD 

coordinates, you must set the correct LORAN chain 

number and secondary stations in the Setup TD field 

before storing the waypoint. After the waypoint is stored 

in unit memory, it always references the LORAN chain 

number and secondary stations currently selected in the 

Setup TD field. If you enter a different LORAN chain 

number, change the secondary stations, or offsets in the 

Setup TD field, the active waypoint information reflects 

those changes. Because the unit does not rely on the 

LORAN signal for navigation, it can reference a different 

GRI chain and/or secondary stations and still navigate to 

the location stored in memory.
To adjust the Loran TD settings, select Loran TD as the 

Position Format to open the Loran TD setup window. To 

change the settings of any fields, highlight the field, press 

the Thumb Stick In. When done, highlight Save and 

press In.
