This screen depicts the course you should be on as the center line and
your position relative to the course (the arrow icon). Any waypoints
that would appear on or near this courseline are displayed as they come
into range.

When a route is active, you can adjust the CDI scale by pressing the
LEFT/RIGHT ARROWs shown in the bottom left corner of the screen.

WAYPOINTS

Saving a Position Fix as a Waypoint

During normal operation your receiver continuously computes your
position and displays that information on the POSITION screen. Quite
often you will want to store the position data for use later on. This
stored fix is referred to as a waypoint. An obvious use would be to store
the position where you are now with a unique name. That way if you
were to go to a new location you could use your receiver to guide you
back to your current location.
