Garmin GPS 175 Approach issue

[bcg]

I recently replaced an old GPSS system with a dual G5 and GAD29 in my plane. Previously, if I had a very tight turn to begin an approach, the GPS would automatically put in the procedure turn at the IAF and direct the AP accordingly. Today, the first time I tried it on the new system, it tried to make the turn from a 270 heading to a 120 heading directly instead of using a PT. Before I get deep into this, does anyone have any idea what I should be looking at? I'm sure it's either a configuration or programming error.

 

Thanks.

What Approach?  And did the GPS175 ask if you wanted to do the PT or not?  If the system is new to you, is it possible you said No when it asked?

You can also always check the Flight Plan screen to see if there is a PT/Hold programmed in there or not.

RNAV 12 at KERV.

The GPS isn't new, I added the HSI G5 and GAD29 to replace an Icarus SAM GPSS and traditional CDI. It never asked about a PT and I did load and then activate the approach. We were heading to OBUCO, where I expected it to do the PT but, it did not.

I just plugged it in the G Trainer.  As soon as I put in OBUCO in while loading the Approach it popped up with the Standard Course Reversal screen.

So maybe it was just a fluke.

Did you have Vectors To Final selected or an IAF for the approach?

Have I seen this question elsewhere? Is this the KERV RNAV 12 via OBUCO?  If so (modified copy and paste):

Unless something is wrong with the unit, it will always load the hold without asking coming from your direction with that transition. Unless something is wrong with the unit, the only three things I can think of offhand that would remove it while retaining the extended FAC are VTF, activating the OBUCO-LAVIC leg, or using the “Remove” option.
