3.6.4.3 Storing by Bearing/distance
Occasionally, you may wish to enter a

into memory by describing

the waypoint’s position as a bearing and distance from your own current

position. This is easily accomplished with your NAV unit.

However, while describing a range or distance from your vessel should not

be a problem, it is important to make sure your “bearing” information is in
“magnetic” IF the magnetic variation is “ON”.

is pressed, the display will calculate a L/L to store as the

waypoint. During this time, the unit will display a

message.

Please wait for the message to disappear before continuing to the next
operation. The screen will change back to the

Directory.
