Data Entry - Garmin GDU 37X Pilot's Manual

DATA ENTRY

The FMS Joystick can be used for directly entering alphanumeric data into the GDU
37X. In some instances, such as when entering an identifier, the GDU 37X tries to
predict the desired identifier based on the characters being entered. In this case, if
the desired identifier appears, use the ENT Key to confirm the entry without entering
the rest of the identifier manually. This can save the pilot from having to enter all the
characters of the identifier.
Besides character-by-character data entry, the system also provides a shortcut
for entering waypoint identifiers. When the cursor is on a field awaiting entry of a
waypoint identifier, turning the FMS Joystick counter-clockwise accesses a menu
with three different lists of identifiers for quick selections: recent waypoints (RECENT
WPTS), nearest airports (NRST APTS), and flight plan waypoints (FPL WPTS). The GDU
37X automatically fills in the identifier, facility, and city fields with the information for
the selected waypoint.
