Key and Knob Functions
B
The power/brightness knob controls unit power and screen brightness
D The direct-to key performs an instant GOTO and allows you to enter a
waypoint and sets a direct course to the destination.
T
The nearest key is used to obtain information on the 9 nearest airports,
VORs, NDBs, intersections, user waypoints and 2 nearest FSSs. The nearest
key also accesses any active SUA information. (See Section 2 for more
information on the nearest waypoints.)
S The set key allows you to customize the settings on your unit to your
preferences, and view GPS coverage and receiver status. (See Section 5 for
more information on unit settings.)
R
The route key enables you to create, edit, activate and invert routes, and
access approaches, SIDs and STARs. Search-and-rescue, parallel offset
and closest point of approach are also performed using the route key.
(See Section 3 for more information on routes.)
W
The waypoint key is used to view information such as runways, frequen-
cies, position, and comments on airports, VORs, NDBs, intersections and
user waypoints. (See Section 2 for more information on the database and
waypoints.)
N
The nav key is used to view navigation and position information. Planning
operations are also performed using the
N key. (See Section 1 for more
information on navigation and planning operations.)
The GPS 155 is designed to minimize key-
strokes to perform operations. There are
typically several ways to perform the same
operation. In general, using the knobs will
decrease keystrokes and time spent using the
GPS 155. Experiment to find the most
effective way to use the GPS 155 to
your advantage.
