I'm taking off from KWVI. This is what I have before taking off: Do I still need to use SNS if I take off from KWVI and all I want to do is get to the ZEBED intersection?

You do not have to... there are two transition options, SNS and ZEBED. At the very beginning you were trying to fly via SNS, so that is why I suggested that option. They both work. Try the SNS option, it is more interesting! Bert

April 30, 20215 yr GPS mode, by pushing the CDI button on the GTN map page. Lastly, did you add SNS as a waypoint? You should select it as the transition when setting up the approach.. Bert
April 30, 20215 yr Go back and read my instructions for setting up the approach, and follow it step by step. Main GTN page: PROC Approach KMRY, RNAV 10R LPV, with transition SNS Load and activate Edited April 30, 20215 yr by Bert Pieke Bert
April 30, 20215 yr I may have confused you here... Sorry! 🙂 You started off wanting an ILS approach, and here I am showing you how to do the RNAV approach to the same runway.. Good news is that if you actually fly the RNAV approach and see how it all works (staying in GPS mode all the way), it will be easier to go back and fly the ILS approach later.. where you will have to switch from GPS mode to VLOC mode on final, as was explained before.. Edit: I'll stop interfering at this point, and let you fly Edited April 30, 20215 yr by Bert Pieke Bert

I don't believe I saw that as an option while following your instructions. Hardware: i7-8700k, GTX 1070-ti, 32GB ram, NVMe/SSD drives with lots of free space.

Edit: I'll stop interfering at this point, and let you fly No problem. I really appreciate your time. I can fly to the ILS feather manually and then fly the approach based on suggestions here no problem. It's getting to the ZEBED intersection from the last leg without manual input that's giving me a headache. 🙂 Hardware: i7-8700k, GTX 1070-ti, 32GB ram, NVMe/SSD drives with lots of free space.
