3. To change the settings of any of the five fields, highlight the field, press ENTER, select/enter the

If the active GRI Chain, secondary stations or offsets have been changed since the waypoint was
created, the waypoint now references the active GRI-chain and secondary stations and adjust the TD
coordinates accordingly. Remember that the GPS is not relying on the LORAN signal for navigation and
actually converts the TD coordinate to a useful LAT/LON coordinate (in the background) before storing
the waypoint to memory or using it for navigation. Because of this the unit can navigate to a TD coordi-
nate anywhere in the world.
