As mentioned earlier, additional information is stored in the GPS III Pilot’s
Jeppesen database. This information may be retrieved using the ‘Waypoints’ option on
the Main Menu, but it is also available from the Nearest Page.
To view additional information for a nearest airport, VOR, NDB, inter-
section, user waypoint or airspace:

You can easily set a GOTO course directly to a nearest waypoint. In an emergency,
a few simple keystrokes can guide you to the closest point to set down. (See page 61
for more detail about the GPS III Pilot’s GOTO features.)
