90 GPSMAP 3005C Owner’s ManualAPPENDIX > C ARING FOR THE GPSMAP 3005CIf the active GRI Chain, secondary stations, or offsets were changed since thewaypoint was created, the waypoint now references the active GRI-chain andsecondary stations and adjusts the TD coordinates accordingly. Remember thatthe GPS is not relying on the LORAN signal for navigation and actually convertsthe TD coordinate to a useful latitude/longitude coordinate (in the background)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 Garmin’s Loran TDPosition Format Handbook from the Garmin Web site.Caring for the GPSMAP 3005CThe GPSMAP 3005C case is constructed of high-quality materials and does notrequire user maintenance except cleaning.Cleaning the CaseClean the unit’s outer casing (except for the screen) using a cloth dampened witha mild detergent solution.
