An important safety feature of the GX55 is its ability to locate waypoints closest to your
Nearest
Waypoint
position. Should you have to land quickly, you can use this feature to locate a nearby
Search
waypoint, assign it as a destination, and quickly navigate to it. Besides the nearest
waypoints to your present position, as an aid in flight planning, you can also select a
reference waypoint from the database and search for waypoints near to it. You can set up
the Nearest Waypoint Search function to filter for certain airport types you select, such as:
runway length, lighting, and surface type. Press INFO while viewing a Nearest waypoint
for more information about that waypoint.
