Waypoint and Database Information
The GNC 300XL uses a Jeppesen NavData® card to provide position and facility
information for thousands of airports, VORs, NDBs and intersections. Each facility in
the database is stored as a waypoint with its own latitude/longitude, identifier (up to five
letters and/or numbers), and other pertinent information. Up to 1,000 user waypoints
may also be created and stored in the GNC 300XL’s internal memory.
Waypoint information is available through four primary waypoint pages accessible
from the GNC 300XL’s W key. The waypoint pages may be scrolled through by press-
ing the W key and rotating the outer knob until the desired page is displayed, or by
pressing the W key repeatedly.
Please note that your GNC 300XL uses ICAO
identifiers for all airports. All U.S. airport identifiers
which contain only letters use the prefix ‘K’. For
example, Los Angeles International is KLAX under
the ICAO standard. Other airports, such as Otten
Memorial (3VS), that contain numbers in the
identifier, do not require the ‘K’ prefix. Many foreign
countries use two letter prefixes. For more
