[. . . ] In the United States, the prefix letter for airports is `K'. This applies to airport identifiers that are letters only. For example, `LAX' becomes `KLAX' and `JFK' becomes `KJFK'. Airport identifiers that use numbers, such as `H34' or `7M5', do not use the `K' prefix. Some waypoints in the database may have the same identifier. When you have entered a waypoint name that is not unique, a Duplicate Waypoint Page appears, prompting you to select the desired waypoint. A list showing each duplicate by waypoint category and region/country makes it easy to identify the correct one. To select the desired waypoint from a list of duplicates, highlight the desired waypoint and press ENTER. If more than one waypoint uses the same identifier, the Duplicate Waypoint Page allows you to choose the correct one. 49 REFERENCE Waypoint Information Pages The `Airport', `VOR' and `NDB' information pages also allow you to retrieve the desired waypoint by entering the facility name or the city name. To select the desired waypoint, by facility or city name: 1. Use the rocker keypad to highlight the facility name or city name field. Use the rocker keypad to enter the desired name--UP/DOWN to change each character and RIGHT to move to the next character. As the name is entered, the GPS III Pilot will scroll through the database, displaying any waypoints with the same letters you have entered to that point. In some instances there may be more than one waypoint with the desired name. (This often occurs when searching by city name. ) To view all waypoints with the desired name, continue spelling the name with the rocker keypad. Once the name appears on-screen, continue to press UP/DOWN on the rocker keypad to view all entries for that name. When the desired waypoint is displayed, press ENTER. Airports, VORs and NDBs can also be selected by the facility's name or the city where the facility is located. 50 The Airport Information Page includes airport position coordinates, field elevation and available fuels. This page will also indicate if the facility is public use or military.
