Garmin GPS 150XL - Manual (Page 18)

The GPS 150XL’s T key provides the nine nearest airports, VORs, NDBs, inter-
sections, user waypoints and any SUA (special use airspace) alerts, as well as the two
closest FSS (Flight Service Station) and center (ARTCC) frequencies for your present
position. The nearest waypoint feature is a handy safety feature that may be used to
execute a quick direct-to in case of an in-flight emergency or to review the closest facil-
ities to your present position. The nearest feature can also be used to quickly find the
contact frequency of the nearest airport.

1. Press the T key. The nearest airport will be displayed, with the range and bearing from
your present position, along with elevation, frequency and runway data.

To view the nearest list for other waypoint categories (VOR, NDB, etc.):
1. Rotate the O knob to the right, or press the T key repeatedly.
