Avionics FAQ

No. Previous Garmin GPS receivers such as the GPS-155 and GPS-155XL included navigation guidance for search-and-rescue (SAR) operations. This allowed users to navigate in a ladder pattern to maximize coverage in an area by referencing 2 anchor waypoints. You could then enter a leg increment value or distance between the legs of the waypoint.

The GNS430/430W does not include this SAR function.
