GPS uses the letter M (for marker) for the waypoint designation and then the date and time.
Example: M.22.04 11:16:49 for 22 April 11 hrs.16 minutes 49 seconds. (UTC). Of course
this WP name can be changed later into a more meaningful name, i.e. “Aunt Renate”. (For

GPS and choose it for a flight to goal. At the same
time the next five waypoints are listed in the order
of shortest distance from the user. The number
after the WPs names indicates the distance in km,
the 2. number shows the direction to WP (Bearing).
After pressing the F1 (Displ.AIti.) key the
precalculated arrival altitudes to the 5 WPs are
