DATA ENTRY
The FMS Joystick can be used for directly entering alphanumeric data into the
GPSMAP 695/696. In some instances, such as when entering an identifier, the
GPSMAP 695/696 tries to predict the desired identifier based on the characters being
entered. In this case, if the desired identifier appears, use the ENT Key to confirm the
entry without entering the rest of the identifier manually. This can save the pilot from
having to enter all the characters of the identifier.
Besides character-by-character data entry, the system also provides a shortcut
for entering waypoint identifiers. When the cursor is on a field awaiting entry of a
waypoint identifier, turning the FMS Joystick counter-clockwise accesses a menu with
three different lists of identifiers for quick selections: recent waypoints (RECENT WPTS),
nearest airports (NRST APTS), and flight plan waypoints (FPL WPTS). The GPSMAP
695/696 automatically fills in the identifier, facility and city fields with the information
for the selected waypoint.
