Setting Relative Waypoints

This subsection explains how to set a waypoint so that it is always
displayed the same relative distance from another waypoint.

To set one waypoint as relative to another:

1. As explained previously, create two waypoints, or, decide

which two existing waypoints you want to use. For the sake
of this example, we’ll call the first waypoint WP1 and the
second WP2.

2. On the chart, double-click WP2. The Waypoint Properties

dialog box is displayed (Figure 4-20).

3. Click the

Relative

checkbox. The

Pinged

checkbox appears

to the right of the Relative checkbox.

4. Click the

Pinged

checkbox to “uncheck” it. The Pinged

checkbox disappears and a drop-down menu with a list of
waypoint names appears. Observe that the

Latitude

and

Longitude

fields also switch to

Range

and

Bearing

,

respectively.

5. Click the drop-down menu, and select WP1 from the list.
