How do you do a hold on a 530W?
I know the Garmin 530W will lead you through a published hold, such as on
the missed approach, but is there any way to get it to lead you through an ad hoc en-route hold, like when ATC tells you to hold at a certain VOR? It looks like if I hit the OBS button it will stop sequencing, but what can I do then? -- Paul Tomblin http://blog.xcski.com/ FAQs are like flatulence. Any asshole can produce them. -- Toni L |

I don't know if the 530 is different, but on the 430 you create a user waypoint[1], set direct to that user waypoint, hit the obs button to put it in obs mode, and then turn the obs dial to the heading on which you want to hold. [1] On the 430 to create a user defined waypoint you do something like press in the right knob to put it in cursor mode, then hit enter a couple times... or something like that. |

You can get it to draw the inbound course by turning the OBS knob, that's not as good as the entire hold, but it is some help. The 480 does a much better job with this, it will draw a hold at any arbitrary waypoint. Brad |

Pixel,
but on the 430 you create a user waypoint[1], set direct to that user waypoint, hit the obs button to put it in obs mode, and then turn the obs dial to the heading on which you want to hold. Not sure if you are aware of it, but Paul alludes to a new capability of the W-units, which will actually fully guide you through a published hold or turn (including the "bent" part of the track) - something the non-W-units can't do. His question is whether this can be set up for a non-published hold. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
