Navigating to a Nearby Waypoint

The NRST pages can be used in conjunction with
the 500W-series unit direct-to function to quickly set
a course to a nearby facility. This feature can be a real
time saver compared to retrieving information from
the database using the WPT pages. More importantly,
it instantly provides navigation to the nearest airport in
case of an in-flight emergency.

or user waypoint as a direct-to destination:
1. Use the flashing cursor to scroll through a NRST
page list and highlight the desired nearest
waypoint.
You can select a direct-to destination
directly from a NRST page (e.g. Nearest Air-
ports) by highlighting the desired waypoint
and pressing the direct-to key.
