Hi everyone,
I can’t seem to get simple DME to work on the G1000. I set the frequency, it’s identified and I use the correct CDI. However, no matter where I look I cant find a readout of the distance.
At the time I took the screenshot I was about 2nm inbound the DME (height and course only for test purposes and offline). I use the DA-40NG with the improvement mod.
Can anyone tell me what I missed? Thanks!
To turn the DME readout on you have to go into a sub menu. PFD options if I remember correctly.
AFAIK NDBs don’t have DME, only most VORs.
IMHO, the MFD is showing the distance to the “waypoint” that is the NDB (via GNSS positioning).
That is what I am saying by stating it is a workaround (for any navaid)
I am also showing what is available to receive that info from a Vordme/tacan (or DME if you can find one)! 
NDB’s do not give a distance reading to an aircraft. (hence the workaround)
I should have been clearer
A few do. They are called an NDB/DME. The DME portion is not on the NDB frequency though.
