A little trick you can do with the Garmin 430 or probably most GPS's link to a VOR. When selecting the reference point for the GPS (Aerodrome reference point, NDB or VOR ect ect) select the NDB, press the OBS button on the GPS and then tune the OBS on the VOR to the inbound and outbound tracks of the NDB approach! You also need to hit the CDI button to display GPS! Have the ADF dialled up and watch the precise precision of the approach! Follow that CDI and it will operate just like a VOR approach takes the fun away I know but it’s handy to have setup just so you can check yourself!
