Why won’t my Garmin GNS 530AW automatically sequence to the next waypoint?

  For automatic waypoint sequencing on your Garmin GPS, ensure that automatic sequencing is enabled, indicated by the absence of “OBS” or “SUSP” annunciation above the OBS key. Also, you must cross the bisector of the turn you are navigating.
