Garmin GPS 150 - Manual (Page 50)

Duplicate identifiers for waypoints sometimes exist when identifier names have
been used in more than one location. For example, the identifier MA is used in nine-
teen different locations throughout the world (fewer are contained on the Americas or
International databases).
When you enter an identifier (as listed throughout the manual) that is a duplicate,
you will be prompted to select which waypoint you desire with a Duplicate Waypoint
page BEFORE the Waypoint Confirmation page appears (as shown on the left). The
Duplicate Waypoint page will display the number of duplicate waypoints, the
identifier, and the region or country in which each waypoint is located. This list is
sorted with the nearest waypoint listed first.
To select the desired waypoint on the Duplicate Waypoint page:
1. Rotate
O
to select the desired waypoint and press
E
to choose the
highlighted waypoint as the desired location.
This displays the Waypoint Confirmation page, and you may continue normal operation.
Locked waypoints exist when a waypoint contained in a route or used as a
proximity waypoint is not contained on the NavData Card, or no card is inserted.
When this occurs, you will be informed with either a ‘Proximity wpt locked’ or a
‘Route wpt locked’ when the unit is powered up. Additionally, if a waypoint that
contains a user comment is locked, you will be informed with a ‘Wpt comment
locked’ message on startup.
In these cases, you will not be able to obtain information on or navigate to these
waypoints. You may display the identifier of each locked waypoint by highlighting the
‘lockd’ with the cursor and pressing
E. Anywhere these waypoints’ identifiers are to
be displayed will be replaced with a ‘lockd’ message. You may delete these waypoints
from routes, the User Comment Catalog, or the Proximity Waypoint page, but you
cannot activate them for navigation.
