EDITING/CREATING A USER WAYPOINT VISUALLY

From MAIN MENU select the FLIGHT PLAN key, followed by USER
WPTS. You may then use the joystick to select a specific user waypoint
(either by number or
name). Press the VIEW
MAP key and the adja-
cent screen will be shown
with the previously
selected user waypoint in
the center of the screen.
If the previously selected
user waypoint was empty
your last position will be
displayed. A user way-
point can then be created
as a distance and bearing
from the displayed posi-
tion or as a latitude/longi-
tude. Press ENTER WPT to save the user waypoint to the first available
memory location. Any user waypoint can be removed by moving the
pointer over it and pressing the DELETE WPT key. If the user waypoint
that you wish to delete is in a stored Flight Plan the message [PRESENT
IN FLIGHT PLAN] will be displayed. A second press on the DELETE
WPT key will however remove it, moving the joystick shall cancel the
delete. Use the PREV PAGE key to return to MAIN MENU. This function
is not available in External GPS Mode.

SAVING A USER WAYPOINT IN FLIGHT

A user waypoint can be saved quickly in flight by pressing NAV MENU in
MAP mode followed by SAVE WPT. You will immediately be returned to
MAP mode with your current position saved to the next available user
waypoint memory location. This function is not available in External GPS
Mode.
