Narrative:

Requested navigation assistance. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following: returning from fl to ia, about 30 mi south of owb, alternator failed, followed shortly by loss of navigation radios and then be loss of one communication radio. Since I was in an unfamiliar area and had only a little over 1 hours fuel left, I tried unicom with no results, then switched to evv approach control and requested vectors to nearest airport. Evv had me squawk 7700 and then a discrete code and vectored me to owb where I had the alternator repaired and continued the trip. I had 45 mins of fuel left when I landed at owb. The evv approach controller was very professional and helpful.
