3.7 NEAREST WAYPOINTS

An important feature on the GPS 95 is the ability to display up to nine nearest
waypoints within 200 nautical miles of your present position. The bearing and
distance to each nearest waypoint is also displayed. The nearest waypoint
feature can be critical in finding a safe landing location in the event of an in-
flight emergency.

To view nearest waypoint information...

· Select the Nearest Waypoint Page by pressing WPT and the NRST

softkey, if needed. The six nearest waypoints will be displayed, along
with the bearing and distance to each.

· Use the arrow keys to scroll through the list and view additional nearest

waypoints (up to nine).

Keep in mind that you may view additional information for any nearest
waypoint by placing the cursor on the waypoint identifier and pressing ENT.

The nearest waypoint feature can be used in conjunction with the GOTO key
to provide instantaneous navigation information to a nearby waypoint.
Simply place the cursor over the desired nearest waypoint identifier and
press GOTO, followed by ENT. The GPS 95 will immediately plot a course
from your present position to the nearby waypoint. (See Chapter 4 for more
information on the GOTO key.)
