FSX GPS

Does anyone have a good instructional manual for the GPS 500 in FSX?  I am figuring some of it out by trial and error.

Have you read the rather extensive manual that is already on your computer?

That place called the "Learning Center?" :)

Download the Garmin 530 simulator https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=8052

It will teach you how to use the 530, and if you can use that, you will have no problem with the 500.  It's a great tool.  The Twin Comanches I did my multi rating on had 530's, and I used this before I actually went flying.

Thanks for all the help.
