A321 the Nav/GPS button is on the left of the console, just below the windshield. Normally it is illuminated red with NAV displayed. Click on it to change to GPS. The activating button is marked LOC, just below the CRS changer dialOn the Boeing 737 the Nav/GPS switch is between the speed and heading indicator windows, and is turned on using the VORLOC button between the heading and altitude windowsOn the 747,GPS/NAV mode switch is the middle switch just above the Horizontal Indicator display, and is turned on by using the NAV button in between the IASMACH selector window and the Heading selector window.Hope this helpsJaje

Just for information - in **real** Boeing and Airbus aircraft there is no button that have word "GPS" in it. Michael J.http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/9320/apollo17vf7.jpg

Just by experimenting - trial and error and looking closely at the flight deck. Jaje
