If more than one
waypoint uses the same
identifier, the Duplicate
Waypoint Page allows
you to choose the
correct one.
Airports, VORs and
NDBs can also be
selected by the facility’s
name or the city where
it is located.
The unit uses International Civil Aviation Organiza-
tion (ICAO) identifiers to designate airports. In the
United States, the prefix letter for airports is ‘K’. This
applies to airport identifiers using letters only. For
example, ‘LAX’ becomes ‘KLAX’ and ‘JFK’ becomes ‘KJFK’.
Airport identifiers using numbers, such as ‘H34’ or ‘7M5’,
do not use the ‘K’ prefix.
Some waypoints in the database may have the same
identifier. When you have entered a waypoint name that
is not unique, a Duplicate Waypoint Page appears,
prompting you to select the desired waypoint. A list
showing each duplicate by waypoint category and region/
country makes it easy to identify the correct one.
To select the desired waypoint from a list of
duplicates, highlight the desired waypoint
and press ENTER.
The ‘Airport’, ‘VOR’ and ‘NDB’ information pages also
allow you to retrieve the desired waypoint by entering the
facility name or the city name.
To select the desired waypoint, by facility or
city name:
1. Use the ARROW keypad to highlight the facility
name or city name field. Press ENTER.
2. Use the ARROW or phone keypad to enter the
desired name.
3. As the name is entered, the unit will scroll through
the database, displaying any waypoints with the
same letters you have entered to that point. In some
instances there may be more than one waypoint with
the same name. This often occurs when searching by
city name. To view all waypoints with the desired
name, continue spelling the name with the ARROW
keypad. Once the name appears on-screen, continue
to press UP/DOWN on the ARROW keypad to view
all entries for that name.
4. When the desired waypoint is displayed, press
ENTER.
