G 11Overview Overview GPS Navigation Flight Planning Hazard Avoidance Additional Features Appendices IndexMain MenuDATA ENTRYThe FMS Joystick can be used for directly entering alphanumeric data into theGPSMAP 695/696. In some instances, such as when entering an identifier, theGPSMAP 695/696 tries to predict the desired identifier based on the characters beingentered. In this case, if the desired identifier appears, use the ENT Key to confirm theentry without entering the rest of the identifier manually. This can save the pilot fromhaving to enter all the characters of the identifier.Besides character-by-character data entry, the system also provides a shortcutfor entering waypoint identifiers. When the cursor is on a field awaiting entry of awaypoint identifier, turning the FMS Joystick counter-clockwise accesses a menu withthree different lists of identifiers for quick selections: recent waypoints (RECENT WPTS),nearest airports (NRST APTS), and flight plan waypoints (FPL WPTS). The GPSMAP695/696 automatically fills in the identifier, facility and city fields with the informationfor the selected waypoint.
