Examples:

North latitude/West longitude

North latitude/East longitude

N50 00/W040 00 = 5040N

N50 00/E040 00 = 5040E

N07 00/W008 00 = 0708N

N07 00/E008 00 = 0708E

N75 00/W170 00 = 75N70

N75 00/E170 00 = 75E70

N07 00/W120 00 = 07N20

N07 00/E120 00 = 07E20

South latitude/East longitude

South latitude/West longitude

S50 00/E040 00 = 5040S

S50 00/W040 00 = 5040W

S07 00/E008 00 = 0708S

S07 00/W008 00 = 0708W

S75 00/E170 00 = 75S70

S75 00/W170 00 = 75W70

S07 00/E110 00 = 07S10

S07 00/W120 00 = 07W20

USING DUPLICATE WAYPOINT IDENTIFIERS

1.

Duplicate

Waypoint

Identifiers: There are
several

waypoints

around the world with
same identifier. If the
identifier selected has
more than one waypoint
associated with it, addi-
tional pages will be indi-
cated on line 1. i.e.1/2,
1/4, etc. The waypoint
nearest the aircraft posi-
tion will be displayed
first. (Figure 3-14)
