Please note that your GPS 150 uses ICAO identifiers
for all airport names. All U.S. airport identifiers which
contain only letters use the prefix ‘K’. For example, Los
Angeles International is KLAX under the ICAO standard.
Other airports, such as Otten Memorial (3VS), that con-
tain numbers in the identifier, do not require the ‘K’ pre-
fix. Many foreign countries use 2 letter prefixes. For more
