Waypoint by
Lat/Lon

own waypoints to the waypoint database. You can
create a waypoint based on a Lat/Lon or using a
radial and distance from another waypoint. The
starting Lat/Lon coordinates are your present position
You can also add the runway length. Unlike normal
database waypoints a User waypoint with a runway of
0 length will appear in the nearest list and on the
map if a length is set for the runway limit in the
Nearest Search function, see page 3-12.
