2.5 WAYPOINTS

The Waypoint (WPT) Page provides airport and waypoint information.

Waypoints are predetermined geographical positions (internal database) or pilot- entered positions, and are used for all phases of flight planning and navigation.

Waypoints can be selected by entering the ICAO identifier, entering the name of the facility, or by entering the city name. As a waypoint identifier, facility name, or location is entered, the GPSMAP 695/696’s Spell’N’Find feature scrolls through the database, displaying those waypoints matching the characters which have been entered up to that point. A direct-to navigation leg to the selected waypoint can be initiated by pressing the Direct-to Key from the Waypoint Page.

The Waypoint Page allows the pilot to review airport information, runway information, frequencies, instrument procedures, Airport Directory information, and weather information. The pilot can manually enter the identifier or the GPSMAP 695/696 will choose the most appropriate identifier based on the current position and phase of flight.

The following descriptions and abbreviations are used:

•Usage type: Public, Military, or Private

•Runway surface type: Hard, Turf, Sealed, Gravel, Dirt, Soft, Unknown, or Water

•Runway lighting type: No Lights, Part Time, Full Time, Unknown, or PCL Freq (for pilot-controlled lighting)

•COM Availability: TX (transmit only), RX (receive only), PT (part time), * (additional information available)
