The exit with the arrow to the left of the number is the next exit ahead, given your direction of travel. Exits which appear above in the list are the closest the opposite direction. 38 Nearest to Pntr (Pointer)- allows you to view the bearing and distance of the nine nearest waypoints, 50 nearest cities, 50 exits on the nearest (interstate) highway and 50 geo (geographical) points nearest to the map pointer. The nearest locations pages are organized by a series of 'file tabs' (denoting categories for Waypoints, Cities, Exits and Geo Points) and display the bearing (BRG) and distance (DST) to each nearby location for the selected tab (category).
