The EKP-IV uses three types of Waypoints:
Jeppesen Waypoints are contained in the Compact Flash and include Airport, VOR, NDB and
Intersection Waypoints. Each of these Waypoints is displayed on the Moving Map by an icon. These
Waypoints can be searched in the Database Menu and identified on the Moving Map with Quick
Info or Full Info. Each of these Waypoints can be used in a Flight Plan, for the Nearest Search or
GoTo functions. When used in a Flight Plan, details regarding the Waypoint are displayed in the
Destination box during flight (when DEST is chosen for display in the Data Window, see Par. 3.5.).
Our Jeppesen library is updated every 8 days. The info regarding the Jeppesen cycle (the cycle
number, the validity period Start Date and Expiring Date) displayed on Title page and on About
page. Please contact your local C-MAP office for update orders and pricing.
User-defined Waypoints (also called User Waypoints) are created by the user. The user can create
unique 8 character names and choose from 16 icons for each waypoint. Waypoints can be created
and edited both on the Moving Map and in the User Waypoint Database page. Like the Jeppesen
Waypoints, they can be used in a Flight Plan, for the Nearest Search or GoTo functions. The EKP-IV
can store up to 1,000 User-Defined Waypoints within the internal memory. The internal waypoint
memory capacity is shared with Flight Plan waypoints; i.e. if you have 15 flight plans with 10
waypoints stored in the unit memory, there is room for 900 User Waypoints.
temporary Waypoints are created only on the Moving Map and are associated with a particular
Flight Plan. They are named in the format WPT001, WPT00 etc. Temporary Waypoints can be
used at the beginning, middle or end of Flight Plans. They can be used as the destination of a
Direct-To Flight Plan, but cannot be accessed in the Nearest function.
