The Enter Waypoint Text Box

Use the Enter Waypoint text box to create or change a route. You can type the

name, city, identifier, latitude/longitude, or distance and bearing from a VOR or NDB.

Find airports, navaids, and waypoints by:

Entering a Database Waypoint

Entering a Waypoint by Latitude/Longitude

Entering Bearing and Distance from another Waypoint

The Enter Waypoint Text Box can also be used to access

Airport Information

.

Entering a Database Waypoint

To enter a waypoint in the Enter Waypoint text box:

1. Type the waypoint name, identifier, or city name in the Enter Waypoint text

box.

If the name you are looking for has more than one word (e.g.”Colorado

Springs”), put it in quotation marks. Otherwise, the program identifies the two
words as multiple waypoints (see

Creating a Route Using the Quick Plan

Method

).

The Select Waypoint list opens with all the matches for the entry. When you
search for an airport name that begins with a frequently used word, such as
"San" or "New", place it in quotation marks and add a space after the word.

For example, use "SAN " rather than "SAN".

TIP

If you are using a pointing device, you can also click or touch the navaid on

the enroute chart, and the Enter Waypoint text box automatically enters
the information. If it did not enter what you wanted, zoom in closer and try

again.

2. FliteDeck displays the most likely match for that waypoint to the right of the

Enter Waypoint text box.

• If the message No Waypoint appears, it means there is not a match

for the entry in your data coverage.
