Your GPS III Pilot uses a built-in Jeppesen database to provide position and
facility information for thousands of airports, VORs, NDBs and intersections. Each
facility in the database is stored as a waypoint, with its own latitude/longitude, iden-
tifier (up to six letters and/or numbers) and other pertinent information. Waypoint
information is available from the 'Waypoints' selection under the Main Menu.
Waypoint information is divided into categories (each represented by a 'file tab'),
with different types of information available for each. The following table lists the file
tabs and information available under each tab:
Airport Identifier, city/state, name, position, elevation, fuel
Runway Length, width, orientation, surface, lighting, diagram
Comm Frequencies for: ATIS, pre-taxi, clearance, ground,
tower, unicom, multicom, approach, departure,
arrival, class B, class C, TMA, CTA, TRSA
VOR Identifier, city/state, facility name, position, freq.,
indication of co-located DME or TACAN
NDB Identifier, city/state, facility name, position, freq.
