NavData® card, the GNC 250XL allows you to store up to 1,000 user-defined way-
points. Once a user waypoint is created, two user waypoint pages will display the fol-
lowing information:

• Waypoint identifier
• Position in latitude and longitude
• Identifier, range and bearing from a reference waypoint
• User comments

To scroll between the user waypoint position page and the user comments page,
