Garmin GPS III Pilot - Manual (Page 57)

To select the desired waypoint, by identifier:
1. Highlight the waypoint identifier field using the rocker keypad and press ENTER.
2. Use the rocker keypad to enter the desired identifier—UP/DOWN to change each
character and RIGHT to move to the next character.
3. As the identifier is entered, the GPS III Pilot will scroll through the database, displaying
any waypoints with the same identifier letters you have entered to that point. When
the desired waypoint is displayed, press ENTER.
NOTE: The GPS III Pilot uses International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
identifiers to designate airports. In the United States, the prefix letter for airports is ‘K’.
This applies to airport identifiers that are letters only. For example, ‘LAX’ becomes
‘KLAX’ and ‘JFK’ becomes ‘KJFK’. Airport identifiers that use 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 way-
point 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.
Waypoints are selected by
identifier (or name). Enter the
desired identifier in the way-
point identifier field, using the
rocker keypad.
If more than one waypoint
uses the same identifier, the
Duplicate Waypoint Page
allows you to choose the
correct one.
