The Waypoint (WPT) Page provides airport and waypoint information.
Waypoints are predetermined geographical positions (internal database) or pilot-

entered positions, and are used for all phases of flight planning and navigation.

Waypoints can be selected by entering the ICAO identifier, entering the name 

of the facility, or by entering the city name.  As a waypoint identifier, facility name, 
or location is entered, the GPSMAP 695/696’s Spell’N’Find feature scrolls through 
the database, displaying those waypoints matching the characters which have been 
entered up to that point.  A direct-to navigation leg to the selected waypoint can be 
initiated by pressing the Direct-to Key from the Waypoint Page.

The Waypoint Page allows the pilot to review airport information, runway 

information, frequencies, instrument procedures, Airport Directory information, and 
weather information.  The pilot can manually enter the identifier or the GPSMAP 
695/696 will choose the most appropriate identifier based on the current position 
and phase of flight.
