B-1 APPENDIX B NAVIGATION TERMS B.1 DEFINITIONS This section provides an illustration of and definitions for the navigation terms used in this manual..
B-2 Velocity/time terms: GS Ground speed. GS is the speed measured relative to the ground; also known as velocity over ground (VOG). VMG Velocity made good. VMG is velocity in the direction of the desired course. It is the speed at which you are closing on the “ active to ” waypoint.
B-3 B.2 COURSE TO STEER (CTS) Course To Steer is a GARMIN exclusive that recommends an optimal direction to steer that will guide you to the course and proceed efficiently along your route.
B-4 As an example, suppose you activate the route illustrated above. The GPS 50 chooses the closest leg with a desired track of 45 degrees but your position happens to be two nautical miles off course. The unit will automatically compute the optimal course to steer (which is 15° in this example).
