tion, carefully review and understand all aspects of this Owner’s Manual and
thoroughly practice operation using the simulator mode prior to actual use.
When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the GPS 38 to all
available navigation sources including the information from other NAVAIDs,
visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before
continuing navigation.
