GPSCOM 190 Takeoff Tour
The takeoff tour is designed to quickly guide you
through basic features and functions of the GPSCOM 190

with the mam pages and features of the unit, refer to the
reterence section for complete instructions on installation
and performing specific tasks and functions.

have changed any settings, the descriptions and pictures
used may not match your configuration. You’re now
