Waypoints - Garmin G1000 Pilot's Manual

FLIGHT MANAGEMENT

5.3 WAYPOINTS

Waypoints are predetermined geographical positions (internal database) or pilot-entered positions, and are
used for all phases of flight planning and navigation.
Communication and navigation frequencies can be tuned "automatically" from various Waypoint Information
(WPT) pages, Nearest (NRST) pages, and the NEAREST AIRPORTS Window (on PFD). This auto-tuning feature
simplifies frequency entry over manual tuning. Refer to the Audio Panel and CNS section for details on auto-
tuning.
Waypoints can be selected by entering the ICAO identifier, entering the name of the facility, or by entering
the city name. See the System Overview Section for detailed instructions on entering data in the system. As
a waypoint identifier, facility name, or location is entered, the system' s Spell'N'Find feature scrolls through the
database, displaying those waypoints matching the characters which have been entered to that point. A direct-to
navigation leg to the selected waypoint can be initiated by pressing the ¯ Key on any of the waypoint pages.
