figured that one out.
Also, when I go to the "nearest airports" page, it's always empty. Not
a major inconvenience yet, but I'd like the information to be there
should I really need it someday.


I am unaware of how to reset the entire unit to factory defaults, but I am
aware that you can reset the "Nearest Airport Criteria" to factory defaults
(0 feet runway length and ANY surface) by going to the AUX chapter (or what
the GNS430 pilot's manual calls "page groupings"), page 4.

To get to this page, hold the CLR button for three seconds, which will take
you to the NAV chapter, page 1. Roll the large, right knob two clicks to
the right to take you to the AUX chapter.

Roll the small right knob (inner knob) right three clicks to the AUX page
4, which is labeled "Setup 2."

Press the right inner knob to turn on the cursor to highlight a menu
choice, use the large right knob to scroll to the "Nearest Airport
Criteria" choice, then hit the ENT key.

Now, press the MENU key to display the individual menu, scroll to "Restore
Defaults," and press ENT.

That will restore the factory defaults for the Nearest Airport Criteria.

By the way, I believe all pages that are customizable can be reset to their
defaults by selecting the "Restore Defaults" menu choice from the
page-specific menu.

Frank S. has instructions for resetting factory defaults above. I'll
take a look at the nearest airports criteria before I reset and I'll
bet that's the problem. Thanks for the tips Peter.
