If the active GRI Chain, secondary stations, or offsets were changed

since the waypoint was created, the waypoint now references

the active GRI chain and secondary stations and adjusts the TD

coordinates accordingly. Remember that the GPS is not relying

on the LORAN signal for navigation and actually converts the

TD coordinate to a useful latitude and longitude coordinate before

storing the waypoint to memory or using it for navigation. Because

of this, the unit can navigate to a TD coordinate anywhere in the

world.
For more information on LORAN TDs, you can download the

LORAN TD Position Format Handbook from the Garmin Web site.
