I wonder what the response would be if one called Garmin and asked if
they approve using the navigator this way?


Try it! I have had extremely good luck with Garmin tech support
transferring me to very knowledgeable people when I had something
besides the usual RTFM questions. My guess is that the manuals are
the problem and that the behavior is in the design spec.


I would call them if I understood why I might have anything to gain from
doing so. I don't yet understand how using the undocumented
self-activation "feature" helps anything.


It helps me in avoiding having to activate the approach at a possible
inopportune time.
