I also directed them to a downloadable Garmin simulator for those GPS so they could practice the most important functions of the GPS. That was key.....
When I first retired out of the military I hadn't ever seen or worked with any Garmin product. I too found the simulator on-line and worked through the entire package and read the user's manuel and found it to be an incredible help. In my current job I am now using a Trimble 800 GPS and there is no information on-line (probably too old
), and continue to have to relearn some aspects nearly every time I go flying it seems.
