Creating Waypoints Graphically

Waypoints may also be quickly created from the map display, which allows you

to ‘point and shoot’ at any map position to create a new waypoint.

keypad to move the cursor to the desired map position. If you want to create

the new waypoint at an on-screen navaid, highlight the navaid on the map display.

2. Press

3. To accept the waypoint with the default name, symbol and comment, press

. If you

are creating a waypoint at an on-screen navaid, the default symbol and comment will

automatically reflect the selected navaid’s name and symbol.

4. To change the name, symbol or comment, highlight the appropriate field and press

5. After entering and confirming your changes, move the field highlight back to the ‘Done?’

prompt and press

keypad to enter the new waypoint name, icon, position and comment. Press

after the last character in each section.

4. When you have finished entering all your waypoint data, use the

keypad to highlight

the ‘Done’ prompt and press

can change the waypoint name, symbol or com-

ment before saving the waypoint.
