Description
The ASA GPS Trainer is a desktop training programme for pilots who want to learn their GPS receiver on the ground before using it in the air. It covers the KLN 89B/94, GNS 430/530, GPSMAP 295 and GX 50/60, and applies to both VFR and IFR operations.
Because GPS receivers are not standardised in design, labelling or operation, each unit has to be learned individually. The software works like an interactive book, with exercises throughout and emulators that integrate with the tutorial so you can practise each task.
