Garmin APOLLO GX65 - Manual (Page 127)

Flight Plan Functions
Flight plans are specific routes between waypoints
you may store in the Apollo GX memory. This
information is used to calculate useful flight statistics.
The Flight Plan function allows you to have up to 30
stored flight plans. Each flight plan may have up to 20
legs. The Active flight plan is always used for the
current flight. Inactive flight plans may be activated in
the Flight Plan function and copied to the Active
flight plan.
Flight Plan Leg pages show the leg number and
FROM
and TO waypoint identifiers on the display,
along with the bearing and distance between the
FROM
and TO waypoints. One asterisk (*) next to
the leg number means that the displayed leg is in the
Active flight plan. Two asterisks (**) mean that the
displayed leg is the active leg and shows the current
FROM
and TO waypoints which are being used for
navigation.
