4.4.1. 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.

From any supplemental waypoint
(SUP) page, turn on the cursor
(

B

). It will flash over the first

character in the waypoint
identifier field (figure 4-74).

2.

Use the right inner knob to select
the first character of the identifier
(figure 4-75). 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 4-76).

4.

Move the cursor down to the
fourth line, over Present Pos?
(figure 4-77).

5.

Press

F

. The SUP 1 page for

your new waypoint will be
displayed with its latitude and
longitude (figure 4-78). The
cursor is turned off automatically.
