Finding the Desired Airport
Finding the Desired Airport
Your 500W-series unit uses ICAO identifiers for all
airports. All U.S. airport identifiers which contain only
letters use the prefix “K”. For example, Los Angeles
InternationalisKLAXundertheICAOstandard.Other
airports,suchasOttenMemorial(3VS),thatcontain
numbers in the identifier, do not require the “K”
prefix. Alaska, Hawaii and many foreign countries use
two letter prefixes.
If you encounter difficulty when selecting an air-
port, try retrieving the desired airport using the facility
name or the city in which it is located.
After a WPT page is selected, information for a
waypoint may be viewed by entering the identifier (or
name) of the desired waypoint.
Enter a waypoint identifier on the top line
of any WPT page (using the small and large
right knobs). Once entered, the database
information for the selected waypoint is
displayed.

1. Select the desired WPT page and press the
small right knob to activate the cursor.

character of the waypoint’s identifier.
