The GPS 155XL’s

M key provides access to system messages and allows you to

customize the unit to your own preferences through a settings submenu. Whenever the
GPS 155XL needs to alert you to a navigation or system message, the annunciator light
(

U) next to the M key will flash. Some messages are advisory in nature (e.g., the arrival

and countdown alarms), while others may require your immediate attention (e.g., poor
GPS coverage). For a complete list of GPS 155XL messages, please see Appendix D.
