Narrative:

[I had a] incursion into class D airspace. Reading the G-1000 the airport weather page indicates the reporting station for primary and satellite airports. While following the GPS vector from CCC VOR intersection to 87N; I was tracking my route on the weather reporting page. Since 87N utilizes the reporting station from 1n2 the weather reporting station; both airports have the same airport designation. Consequently; I entered the 1n2 airspace; believing I was nearby 87N; and past the 1n2 airspace. On G-1000; indicate the airport designation in bold letters with the reporting station in parenthesis or smaller letters to indicate that the reporting station is at a different location.
