The GNS 430's display is divided into three separate "windows" (or
screen areas). The left 1/4 of the display provides a COM window (top two
lines) and a VLOC window (bottom two lines) The right 3/4 of the display
consists of a GPS window, which is where you'll find the various navigation,
waypoint information and settings "pages".
Each unique screen of information is referred to as a page. Pages are
typically selected using the small ( a ) and large (
cursor removed from the GPS window. See the following page for details
on arrangement of the GNS 430's main pages.
Cursors
There are two separate cursors: a tuning cursor and a GPS window
cursor. The tuning cursor is used to select the standby COM or VLOC
frequency. If desired, press the small left knob ( v ) to move the tuning
cursor to the VLOC window. Then, use the small ( f ) and large (
knobs to select the desired frequency. The COM (
