4.6.1. CREATING A WAYPOINT AT YOUR PRESENT POSITION

Creating a waypoint at your present position is the simplest possible
way to create a user-defined waypoint. This is nice for
"remembering" a spot you are at. Let's suppose you're at a private
strip that you want to name "VALLY"

To create a user-defined waypoint at your present position:

1.

Select the NAV 2 page (present
position) and press the

F

button. A page like the one in
figure 4-97 will be displayed with
your latitude and longitude at the
time you pressed the button. The
user-defined waypoint is initially
given the name USR##, where
## is the first available number
between 01 and 99.

2.

If you wish to use this waypoint
name, press

F

and the

waypoint creation is complete
(figure 4-98). If you want to
choose your own name for it, turn
the right inner knob to select the
first character of the identifier
(figure 4-99). Remember that
when the cursor is on, the right
inner knob changes the character
and the right outer knob moves
the cursor around.

3.

Spell out the rest of the identifier
using the right inner and outer
knobs (figure 4-100).

4.

Press

F

. The USR 1 page for

your new waypoint will be
displayed with its latitude and lon-
gitude (figure 4-101). The cursor
is turned off automatically.
