You mean like a KNS80/81? No, you need DME for that since you need bearing
and distance to do VOR-shifting. THe GNS430 has no DME.
Of course the first ever Skyforce box did RNAV by VOR triangulation, so if you ever were to see a similar feature in a modern box, it would be in a Bendix-King one. But why bother?
