Using Waypoints By Scanning - Garmin GPS 100 Owner's Manual

4.4 USING WAYPOINTS BY SCANNING

The GPS 100 offers a waypoint scanning feature which will simplify waypoint
name entry. A waypoint list is available for scanning in any waypoint name
field. The list consists of up to nine nearest waypoints within 100 nm and a
complete list of waypoints which are organized alphabetically (numbers are
ordered before the letters of the alphabet). The nearest waypoint list is
placed in front of the complete list so that, in the event of an emergency, you
may quickly access the desired nearest waypoint.
To enter waypoint name by scanning...
· With the cursor over a blank waypoint name field, press the WPT key.
The nearest waypoint will be displayed in the waypoint field.
· Use the right and left arrow keys to scan through the list of waypoints,
starting with the nearest list and followed by the complete list.
· With the desired waypoint shown, press the ENT key to select the
waypoint (use the CLR key to cancel the scanning operation at any
time).
To avoid scanning through the entire waypoint list, you may want to enter the
first few characters of the waypoint name.
To scan waypoints with specified initial characters...
· Enter the desired number of initial characters of the waypoint name
into a waypoint field as normally done when entering a waypoint
name.
· Press the WPT key to display the first waypoint that begins with the
character(s) you have entered.
· Use the right and left arrow keys to scan through the list of the
waypoints that matches the entered characters.
· With the desired waypoint shown, press the ENT key to select the
waypoint (use the CLR key to cancel the scanning operation at any
time).
