Garmin GPS 165 TSO - Manual (Page 53)

The GPS 155’s NRST key provides detailed information including range and bear-
ing from present position on the nine nearest airports, VORs, NDBs, intersections and
user waypoints within 200 nm of your current position. In addition, it will also dis-
play the two nearest Flight Service Station (FSS) points of communication, and alert
you to any Special Use Airspace (SUA) you may be in or near. The NRST key can be
used in conjunction with the GPS 155’s direct-to function to quickly set a course to a
nearby facility in case of an in-flight emergency.
