Hoping someone can help me sort this out. I am trying to figure out how to use the OBS mode in my G3X - 430W setup. Lets say ATC asked me to go to a waypoint (I am using GPS for guidance) on a specific bearing/course. With the 430, I use the direct function to enter that waypoint, but I need to dial in the specific course to that waypoint to follow.
I press the OBS button and the 430 makes me enter the course. I do that and the pointer on the PFD moves accordingly. However, the G3X also lets me press an OBS course button and twist the knob to change the course. This is easier to work with, however, I can't seem to figure out how these two different settings are interacting and which is being followed. Is the G3X overriding the 430 course that I had to enter?
Has anyone figured this out?
