Renaming a user waypoint. 47 SECTION 2 WPT KEY Waypoint Comments The last page available through the GPS 150XL's W key is the waypoints with comments page, which lists all waypoints that have a user comment. User comments may be added to 250 waypoints stored in the user or NavData® database, and allow you to note two lines of special information concerning a particular waypoint. To enter user comments: 1. Enter the waypoint identifier from any waypoint page (see page 33), and press C to remove the cursor. Press E to accept, and repeat steps 4 and 5, if necessary, to enter information on the other line. Use K to scroll through the list. The GPS 150XL will display the waypoints with comments in alphabetical order, with up to six waypoints at a time. The scrolling arrow prompt will indicate which direction to scroll to view additional waypoints. Waypoints with comments page To view comments for a selected waypoint: 1. Highlight the desired waypoint and press E (or press \ and E to delete). 48 2. Rotate O to display any other available pages for the selected waypoint. The GPS 150XL's extensive waypoint database makes it possible for several waypoints to share the same identifier. To ensure that you are selecting the waypoint desired, the GPS 150XL will always offer the waypoint confirmation page (which shows the waypoint's position) when an identifier is entered for a particular function. To accept the waypoint position: 1. Press \ with the cursor over the `ok?' prompt. WPT KEY Waypoint Confirmation Duplicate Waypoints SECTION 2 Once a waypoint has been accepted or rejected, the previous page will be displayed. If there is more than one waypoint available for a selected identifier, the GPS 150XL will display a duplicate waypoint page for you to choose the desired waypoint. The waypoint identifier and number of duplicates will be shown at the top of the page, with the waypoint type and region of each duplicate indicated below. The waypoints listed are sorted by the distance from your present position. To scroll through additional duplicate waypoints: 1. Press E over the `ok?' prompt to accept the waypoint or \ to reject the waypoint and return to the duplicate waypoints list. Waypoint confirmation page Duplicate waypoints page 49 SECTION 2 WPT KEY Locked Waypoints Waypoint Scanning Because the GPS 150XL relies on a NavData card for most waypoint information, there may be instances when waypoint information is not available for use. Locked waypoints exist when a waypoint contained in a route, used as a proximity waypoint or with a comment, is not contained on the NavData card, or no card is inserted in the unit. If this condition exists, you'll be alerted with a `Proximity wpt locked', `Route wpt locked' or `Wpt comment locked' message when the unit is powered up. The identifier of a locked waypoint will be replaced with a `lockd' message, which indicates you cannot obtain waypoint information or navigate to the waypoint. The identifier of a locked waypoint may be displayed by highlighting `lockd' and pressing E. Locked waypoints may be deleted from routes, the proximity waypoints list or waypoints with comments page by following the instructions in the appropriate section of this manual. The waypoint scanning feature provides a fast way to scan through airports, VORs, NDBs and intersections in the database by identifier, facility name or city. Waypoint scanning may be used from any blank waypoint identifier field. To enter a waypoint by scanning the identifier, facility name or city: 1. If the identifier field is not blank, highlight the field with the cursor and press \ before pressing W.
