SUA alert messages for class B, class C, MOAs,
restricted and other areas may be turned off to avoid
nuisance alerts, and may also be removed from the map
to avoid excess clutter at higher map scales. For com-
plete information and definitions on SUAs, see page 52.
The GPS 90' s nearest function will also provide you
with a list of the nine nearest airports, VORs, NDBs,
intersections and user waypoints to your present posi-
tion. The internal Jeppesen database used in the GPS 90

which are divided into specific categories for your con-
venience. For more on waypoint categories and the
