+QUAD EXPLORER Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 While looking over my 76CS, I noticed the Jumpmaster Icon under the setup option. I haven't been able to locate any information regarding what its for. While in the Jumpmaster screen you have several options. Jump Type: HALO, HAHO, Static Impact point drop alt open alt forward throw course to HARP wind, constant, GOTO HARP, and Auto to DIP Why doesn't Garmin give out some information. I'm a pilot and this could be useful. Has anyone else noticed anything not published about the 76CS? I checked with my friends 60C and he doesn't have the Jumpmaster option. Thanks for any help.

Raoul Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Hmmm.......well,no doubt it has something to do with the barometric/compass functionality because I have a 76c but no jumpmaster screen.... That's all I know......good luck finding out!! (Hope you know what all the gauges in the cockpit are for though!! ) Quote
peter Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Jumpmaster is a set of features that Garmin has on their units with pressure-based altimeters (Vista/C, 60cs, 76s/cs, Geko301) that are useful for parachute jumping. There's a separate little manual available that describes these features at: http://www.garmin.com/products/manual.jsp?...ct=010-00243-00 Quote
