The NAV summary page without a direct-to
destination or active route appears blank, except
for ground speed (GS) and track (TRK) figures,
if displayed.

When a destination is selected, the direct-to
confirmation page appears to verify the
destination you selected.

The GPS 155XL uses direct point-to-point navigation to guide you from takeoff to

touchdown in the IFR environment. Once a destination is selected, the unit will provide
speed, course and distance data based upon a direct course from your present position
to your destination. A destination can be selected from any page using the

D

(direct-

to) key.

To select a direct-to destination:

1. Press the

D

key. The NAV summary page will appear with the destination field highlighted.

2. Rotate the

K

knob to enter the first letter of the destination waypoint identifier. The destina-

tion waypoint may be an airport, VOR, NDB, intersection or user waypoint, as long as it is in
the database or stored in memory as a user waypoint.

3. Rotate the

O

knob to the right to move the cursor to the next character position.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to spell out the rest of the waypoint identifier.

5. Press

E

to confirm the identifier. The direct-to confirmation page will appear.

6. Press

E

to confirm the destination.

Once the direct-to destination is confirmed, the NAV summary page will appear

with the destination indicated in the lower left hand corner of the screen. Your present
speed and track over the ground, and the distance and estimated time enroute to your
destination are also displayed. The graphical CDI (course deviation indicator), located at
the top of the screen, displays your position relative to the desired course and provides
turn anticipation and waypoint messages during route navigation.
