One of the most important features of your new GPSMAP 295 is the built-in Jeppesen database,

which inlcudes information on airports, runways, frequencies, approaches, navaids and airspace
boundaries. This information is readily available from the  

D   WPT

 key or directly from the Map Page.

To view the database information by entering the identifier, facility name or city:

1. Press   

D   WPT

.

2. The waypoint information pages will appear. A series of file tabs along the top of the page identify

each category of waypoint information: aviation (for airport/VOR/NDB/intersection locations),
runways,  communication frequencies and approaches. Use the LEFT/RIGHT portion of the 

ROCKER

KEYPAD

 to select the desired file tab.

Airports, VORs and NDBs can be selected by identifier, facility name or city. Intersections
and user-created waypoints can only be selected by identifier (not facility name or city).

3. Highlight the identifier field (or facility name field or city field, if applicable) and press 

ENTER

.

4. Use the 

ROCKER KEYPAD

 to enter the identifier (facility name or city)—UP/DOWN to change the

highlighted character and RIGHT to move to the next character.  Press 

ENTER

 to confirm the selection.

To view database information from the Map Page:

1. With the Map Page displayed (see page 10), use the 

ROCKER KEYPAD

 to place the panning

cursor over the desired facility on the map. When the cursor is directly over the desired item, the
identifier for that item will appear highlighted.

For airspace information, place the cursor over any open area within the boundary of the
desired airspace. The boundary line is then highlighted and airspace information is displayed.

2. Press

ENTER

 to view database information for the selected airport, navaid or airspace. If an airport

was selected, use the 

ROCKER KEYPAD

 to select the ‘Aviation’, ‘Runway’, ‘Comm’ or ‘Approach’ file

tabs across the top of the page.

You can retrieve database information for airports, VORs
and NDBs by pressing the  

D   WPT

 key and entering the

identifier, facility name or city. Database information for
intersections is available only by identifier.

To retrieve database information directly from the map, use
the

ROCKER KEYPAD

 to place the panning pointer on the

desired item and press 

ENTER

.
