NOTE: The GPS 150 will flash the U next to the A key
to inform you of SUA alerts. You do not have to repeatedly
check the Nearest Waypoint page for SUA information. It is
provided to supply more information on the SUA and its
boundaries. The GPS 150 will not flash an alert, however, if
they have been turned off, or your alititude is such that you
will not enter the buffered airspace. Turning off SUA alerts
and setting the altitude buffer is covered in Section 5, page
59. ANY SUA that meets the above conditions will be
displayed on the nearest pages.
