Duplicate Waypoints

Once the identiﬁer, facility name, or location is entered, all six airport pages display information for the selected airport. When entering an identiﬁer, facility name, or location, the GNS 530’s Spell’N’Find feature scrolls through the database, displaying those waypoints matching the characters that have been entered to that point. If duplicate entries exist for the entered facility name or location, additional entries may be viewed by continuing to turn the small right knob during the selection process. If duplicate entries exist for an entered identiﬁer, a Duplicate Waypoint Window appears when the identiﬁer is selected (by pressing the ENT Key).

Selecting a facility name or location where duplicate entries exist:

1)Select the desired facility name or location, following the preceding steps under ‘To enter a waypoint facility name or city location’.

2)When spelling the facility name or location, using the small and large right knobs, the GNS 530’s Spell’N’Find feature selects the ﬁrst entry (Figure 7-4) in the database based upon the characters entered up to that point.
