Both the internal (i.e.: Jeppesen and towns) waypoints and user-defined waypoints are
stored in your unit in a series of databases.
During the normal use of your unit you will need to select items from these databases,
whether it is to find out airport frequency
information, or select a DIRECT TO point
or when creating a flight plan. In each
case the adjacent screen will appear.
Use the joystick to highlight the database
in which the desired item is contained
and press SELECT.

The second stage in the selection
process requires you to choose the
desired item. This is achieved by using
the joystick. Once the desired item is
displayed press ENTER to select the
item. If the item required is in an
aeronautical database (i.e.: AIRPORT,
VOR etc) you may well have the ability to
narrow the area of search by selecting a
two letter identify in the AREA field. For
a complete list of two letter ICAO
identifiers please refer to APPENDIX C in
this Manual. If the label in the AREA
field says ALL then the search will
include all countries available in your
memory cards region.

A Quick Word On DIRECT TOs And
Flight Plans
A Quick Word On DIRECT TOs And
Flight Plans
A flight plan is a series of legs interspersed with waypoints, while a DIRECT TO is a one
leg flight plan. A DIRECT TO can be performed at any time. If a DIRECT TO is performed
when a flight plan is active, the flight plan will be put to sleep and the displayed navigation
data in MAP mode will reference the DIRECT TO point. You will always know when a
DIRECT TO is running because the DIRECT TO key will be labelled DIRECT TO OFF.
Pressing this key will cancel the DIRECT TO. If a flight plan was previously running
underneath it will automatically resume.
