The position page also features a reference waypoint field, located at the bottom
of the page, to indicate your bearing and distance from a selected waypoint. The ref-
erence waypoint field can display the following:
• Range, bearing and identifier from the nearest airport, VOR, NDB,
intersection, or user waypoint
• Range, bearing, and identifier from a user specified waypoint
The default setting is to display the nearest airport.
To change the reference waypoint field to display the nearest airport, VOR, NDB,
intersection, user waypoint or the range and bearing from a user selected waypoint:
1. Press
C
twice to activate the cursor in the GPS window.
2. Rotate
O
to highlight the proximity field after the
f
r.
3. Use
K
to choose which waypoint type you would like displayed. (Choose ‘wpt’ if you
would like a specific waypoint range and bearing to be displayed.)
4. Press
C
to remove the cursor, or:
If you have selected ‘wpt’:
5. Rotate
O
to advance the cursor to highlight the identifier field.
6. Use the
K
and
O
knobs to enter the identifier name. (This waypoint identifier can be
an airport, VOR, NDB, intersection, or user waypoint.) Press

7. Press

This allows any waypoint’s distance and bearing to be listed continuously on the
position page, and is especially useful when trying to locate your position on a
sectional.

on the CDI Page
Position page displaying the nearest airport
(KIXD) as the reference waypoint.
Position page displaying the TOP VOR as the ref-
erence waypoint. This configuration can be used to
help monitor your distance and radial to a way-
point of your choice.
Note the waypoint category is listed as ‘wpt’ rather
than ‘VOR’ because the GNC 250 is not using the
nearest VOR for the reference waypoint.
