If the newly created proximity alarm circle overlaps with an existing proximity
alarm circle, you will be informed of the overlap with the message “Proximity
Overlap”. As long as the overlap remains this message will be displayed
each time the GPS 95 is turned on. (WARNING: If you enter the overlap area
the unit will only inform you of the nearest waypoint.)

NEAREST WAYPOINTS
An important feature on the GPS 95 is the ability to display up to nine nearest
waypoints (of each category) within 200 nautical miles of your present
position. The bearing and distance to each nearest waypoint is also
displayed. The nearest waypoint feature can be critical in finding a safe
landing location in the event of an in-flight emergency.
To view nearest waypoint information...
· Select the Nearest Waypoint Page by pressing WPT and the NRST
softkey, if needed.
· Place the cursor key on the cyclic field in the upper left of the page
using the arrow keys.
· Select the desired waypoint category by pressing CLR. The five
nearest waypoints for that category will be displayed, along with the
bearing and distance to each.
· Use the arrow keys to scroll through the list and view additional nearest
waypoints (up to nine).
Keep in mind that you may view additional information for any nearest
waypoint by placing the cursor on the waypoint identifier and pressing ENT.
In the case of a nearest airport; facility name, elevation, fuel services,
communication frequencies, and runway information are all instantly available.
