Has anyone with a UPS AT GX-50/60/65 panel mount GPS been able to change the

ground speed readout from knots to MPH?  I'm trying to finish a ground speed

calibration series and it would be easier if the flight instruments and GPS

had the same speed readout.  I looked through the installation and operating

manuals and didn't find any information on changing KNOTS to MPH.  Anyone

ever done this? If so how did you do it?

Try calling the legacy help desk at Garmin - they were willing to help me 

when I was troubleshooting my GX60....before the display crapped out.....

Not wanting to sound facetious, but how about changing the ASI to knots, a

MPH ASI is a bit of a legacy device these days.

All the distances you will be looking at on the GPS (or charts) are NM, not

SM.

Cheers,

I haven't run down to the airport to try this out, but my manual says:



Press SYS

Large knob to Navigation Info, press Enter

Large knob to Program Nav Pages, press Enter



If I'm reading this right, it should show "Nav Mode Display -

Programmable and -- Autonav Pages *".



Use the Small Knob to reach a programmable Nav page.

Press SEL to start field selection.  Turn the Large Knob to the desired

field.

Turn the Small Knob to select the units you want.

Press Enter to save that change or Sel to ignore the change.



Yup, never would have guessed all that.



If it doesn't work, I'll try it out on my GX-60 and get better

instructions.  Good luck.
