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 4 for more information on the nearest waypoints).
S The set key allows you to customize the settings on your unit to your
preference. (See Section 5 for more information on unit settings).
R
The route key enables you to create, edit, activate and invert routes. 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).

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).
The GPS 150 is designed to minimize key-
strokes when performing operations. There are
typically several ways to perform the same oper-
ation. In general, using the knobs will decrease
keystrokes and time spent using the GPS 150.
Experiment to find the most effective way to use
the GPS 150 to your advantage.
