    Losing GPS CDI & BRG when outside 10nm from waypoint - Garmin 196

    Posting on the new Forum to continue discussion from old one...

    Apart from setting the GPS to NMEA IN/OUT at 4800 baud, I'm pretty sure there's not a seperate 'fast' setting on the Garmin 196, unless I'm missing something. I haven't changed anything on the GPS - the only thing to be changed is the updated EFIS software, and all functions worked perfectly before.

    Although the normal, non-nav functions of the gps are present (wind & G/S for example), if I'm down route (i.e. not on the first leg or following a GOTO selection), then all nav info on the EFIS disappears until inside 10nm (at the 9.9nm point, to be precise).

    I have just delivered the RV7 to be painted. They're going to repair the NACA duct and I'll pop the temp probe under the wing in due course.

    Are you 10 miles off course or 10 miles from the next waypoint when this happens?

    10 miles from the waypoint. The EFIS displays at 9.9nm from the waypoint, irrelevant of track position.
