Gawd Dang - and I've got a 296 as well!
Thanks for the heads up - I'll have to check it out. To be honest, I very seldom use the 'nearest' function - I mostly just configue the first page with timers / gps state - the 2nd with enroute infor - and the 3rd for approach related stuff. Would still be nice to be able to have something like a BGF (BearingG From) field though. Cheers, CC "Jon Woellhaf" wrote in message ... "Cockpit Colin" wrote, "... what I would really LOVE to see is a GPS selectable field that gives me a bearing FROM a reference, instead of TO one." The Garmin GPSMAP 296 does that -- at least for the nearest airport, VOR, NDB, Intersection,City, or Waypoint (your choice). I have mine set to nearest VOR. Right now, for example, it says "From Jeffco VOR (BJC): 8.9 nm S 162°m." This makes it a snap to report position. Jon
