Garmin GPS 150 - Manual (Page 21)

The Proximity field can display the following:
• Range, bearing and identifier of the nearest airport, VOR, NDB,
intersection, or user waypoint, or;
• Range and bearing from a user entered waypoint.
This will display ANY waypoint’s distance and bearing on the bottom of the Position
page. This is especially useful when trying to locate your position on a sectional. The
default setting is to display the nearest airport.

Remember! The NAV pages will only display information AFTER the position and

Position page before the unit has calculated a GPS position, you will be able to enter
an approximate position and altitude. This is helpful in speeding satellite acquisition
only if the unit has moved without tracking satellites.
