Garmin GNS 430 - Menu and Range Selection Keys; Frequency Swap Keys

Screen Layout (windows)
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 (
d
) right knobs—with the
cursor removed from the GPS window. See the following page for details
on arrangement of the GNS 430’s main pages.
Cur
sors
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 (
h
) left
knobs to select the desired frequency. The COM (
W
) and VLOC (
V
) flip-
flop keys are used to activate the selected frequency.

the desired window (COM or VLOC),
