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 rocker keypad to highlight the facility name or city name field. Press ENTER.

2. Use the rocker keypad to enter the desired name—UP/DOWN to change each

character and RIGHT to move to the next character.

3. As the name is entered, the GPS III Pilot 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 desired name. (This often occurs when
searching by city name.) To view all waypoints with the desired name, continue
spelling the name with the rocker keypad. Once the name appears on-screen,
continue to press UP/DOWN on the rocker keypad to view all entries for that name.

4. When the desired waypoint is displayed, press ENTER.

dinates, field elevation and
available fuels. This page will
also indicate if the facility is
