SYSTEM OVERVIEW

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 small 

FMS

 Knob counter-

clockwise accesses three different lists of waypoint identifiers for quick selection: flight plan (FPL), nearest 

(NRST), and recently-entered (RECENT).  The G900X automatically fills in the identifier, facility, and city fields 

with the information for the selected waypoint.
