The GPS 100 AVD features a built-in Jeppesen NavData
direct access to either North America, International or Worldwide navigational
information. When the GPS 100 AVD is turned on, the display will show
which database the unit contains. Information contained in the databases is
as follows:
· Airports: Identifier, latitude, longitude, elevation, and nearest VOR.
· VORs: Identifier, latitude, longitude, frequency, and co-located DME
(or TACAN) indication.
· NDBs: Identifier, latitude, longitude, and frequency.
· Intersections: Identifier, latitude, longitude, and nearest VOR.
The North American and International Databases contain this information for
all intersections, NDBs and VORs and most public use airports with runways
of 1,000 feet or greater. The North American Database covers Canada, the
continental United States, Alaska, Mexico, Central America, and the Bahamas.
The International Database covers the entire world except for the area
covered by the North American Database.
The Worldwide Database contains information for most public use airports
with runways of 1,000 feet or greater, all VORs, NDBs, named outer markers
