Updates for the GPS 150 database may be purchased from Jeppesen on a one-time
basis or by subscription. A packet supplied with your GPS 150 details the subscription

The GPS 150 database information is accessed using the W key. The GPS 150
contains four pages under the W key. These pages are:
The Waypoint Menu page lets the user select the type of waypoint they would
like to see information regarding. After selecting the waypoint type, the user may
enter the identifier, location, or facility name to access the data contained on the
NavData card.
The Proximity Waypoint page lists all of the proximity waypoints the user has
entered. Proximity waypoints notify the pilot if the aircraft comes within a user entered
range of the waypoint’s position.
