Garmin 500 GPS problem Cherokee 180

Post by skudrunner »

Hi Guys
I don't know if I'm asking more than the Garmin 500 is capable of. I had no problem setting up a flight plan from airport to airport however am confused when executing the approach. I know that the GPS takes you to the airport and not the runway. After you select "SELECT APPROACH" do you "ACTIVATE VECTORS TO FINAl" or do you "ACTIVATE APPROACH?" When I got to within 3 miles of the airport I activated VECTORS TO FINAL and the GPS started wandering. Do you first activate approach and then activate vectors to final? or just go to activate vectors to final. I thought that the GPS takes you close to the threshold and then you turn it off and land manually. Would appreciate some guidance...thanks!!!!
