Garmin GPS 40 - Manual (Page 25)

The GPS 40 has three waypoint submenu pages
that let you manage a large number of waypoints
quickly and efficiently. The nearest waypoints, way-
point list and waypoint definition pages are
accessed through the Menu Page. To select a
waypoint submenu page:
1. Press the P or Q key until the
Menu Page appears.
2. Use the U and D keys to highlight the way-
point submenu page you want to use.
3. Press E to display the submenu page.
4. To return to the Menu Page, press the P key.
The nearest waypoints page shows the nine near-
est waypoints that are within 100 nautical miles of
your present position, with the bearing and range
noted for each waypoint. During an emergency or
foul weather, the nearest waypoints page can give
you a quick reference to the closest points of safety
in your area.
The nearest waypoints page will also let you
GOTO a selected waypoint or retrieve a waypoint
definition page right from the list:
1. Use the U and D keys to highlight a listed
waypoint.
2. To select a highlighted nearest waypoint as a
destination, press the G key.
3. Once the Navigation Page appears, press the
E key to confirm the selected waypoint as
your destination.
To review the waypoint definition page of a
selected waypoint from the list:
1. Press the E key.
To return to the nearest waypoint page (when
the ‘done’ field is highlighted):
