What is the Garmin input format to specify a route segment using a place bearing place bearing pair?

• A. Place/Bearing/Place/Bearing
• B. Bearing/Place/Bearing/Place
• C. Route/Waypoint
• D. Latitude/Longitude

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is how Garmin encodes a route segment using a starting point, a direction, and the next point. In this format you specify a starting place, the bearing to fly from that place, the next place you’ll reach along that bearing, and then a second bearing from that next place to continue. This exact pattern is Place/Bearing/Place/Bearing, which is why that option is the correct one. Why this fits: it matches the sequence of two places separated by two bearings, letting the device define a leg by starting at a place, following a given bearing to reach the next place, and then continuing from there with another bearing to the following point. The other formats don’t express a leg in terms of a starting place plus directions to the next anchor, or they use coordinates or generic route terms that don’t capture the specific Place/Bearing/Place/Bearing mechanism.
