Creating Waypoints On Map & By Text
Waypoints may also be quickly created from the map display, which allows
you to “point and shoot” at any map position to create a new waypoint.

want to create the new waypoint at an on-screen navaid, highlight the
navaid on the map display.
2. Press T.
3. To accept the waypoint with the default name, symbol and comment,
press T. If you are creating a waypoint at an on-screen navaid, the
default symbol and comment will automatically reflect the selected
navaid’s name and symbol.
4. To change the name, symbol or comment, highlight the appropriate field
and press T.
5. After entering and confirming your changes, move the field highlight back
to the ‘Done?’ prompt and press T.
Creating Waypoints By Text Entry
Waypoints may also be created by manually entering a position’s
coordinates or referencing a stored waypoint through the ‘Create Waypoint’
submenu option on the main menu page.
To create a new waypoint by manually entering its coordinates:
1. Press O twice to display the main menu page.
2. Highlight the ‘Create Waypoint’ option and press T. The waypoint
definition page will appear, with the next available waypoint number and
the receiver’s last known position as the default name and position.
3. Use the R keypad to enter the new waypoint name, icon, position and
comment. Press T after the last character in each section.
4. When you have finished entering all your waypoint data, use the R
keypad to highlight the ‘Done’ prompt and press T.
