Garmin GPS III Plus - Manual (Page 63)

The nearest locations pages are
organized as a series of “file
tabs”. Select the appropriate
tab to show as many as nine
nearby waypoints, 50 nearest
cities or 50 nearest highway
exits—along with the bearing
and distance to each.
Another waypoint feature of the GPS III+ is the nearest locations pages, which
show up to nine nearest waypoints and 50 nearest cities—within 200 miles of your
present position—along with 50 exits on the nearest (interstate) highway and 50
nearest geo (geographic) points. The nearest locations pages are organized by a series
of ‘file tabs’ (denoting categories for Waypoints, Cities, Exits and Geo Pnts) and display
the bearing (BRG) and distance (DST) to each nearby location for the selected tab
(category). The lists are continuously updated as you’re moving and provide quick
access to the closest points of safety in an emergency.
To view the nearest locations pages:
1. Press the MENU key twice to display the Main Menu.
2. Highlight ‘Nearest’ and press ENTER.
3. Highlight the appropriate tab (Waypoints, Cities, Exits or Geo Pnts) for the desired
nearest list.
4. Scroll through the list using the UP/DOWN portion of the rocker keypad.
To view additional information for a nearby location:
1. Scroll through the selected nearest list (as described above) and highlight the desired
location (Waypoint, City or Exit).
2. Press ENTER to display an info page for the selected location.
3. For waypoints, the information is displayed on the Waypoint Edit Page. You can edit the
waypoint’s location, name, symbol, etc. from this page, as outlined on pages 50-51.
4. For cities, the information includes state, country, size or reference, and position. You
can show the map area for the city, save it as a waypoint or switch between size and
reference information as described on pages 69-71.
5. For exits and geo points, all the additional pages and related options menus (described
on pages 35, 39-40 and 54) are available.
