.
3. Rotate the large right knob (
d
) to highlight the first reference waypoint (REF WPT) field.
4. Use the small (

d
) right knobs to enter the identifier of the reference waypoint.
The reference waypoint can be an airport, VOR, NDB, intersection or another user waypoint.
Press

NOTE
The GNS 430 allows you to create a new user waypoint at a defined
radial and distance from your present position. To reference your pres-
ent position, follow the steps above, but press c in step #4. “P.POS”
will appear in the reference waypoint (REF WPT) field to indicate that
radial and distance information will reference your present position.
The second reference waypoint field (REF WPT) is a temporary refer-
ence only—not a reference that will be stored with the user waypoint.
By default, this field will display a radial from the nearest VOR.
However, you can select any waypoint—by identifier—to use as a ref-
erence in this field.
Your GNS 430 can store user-defined waypoints which are generated
from other equipment in your panel. For example, an EFIS equipped
with joystick inputs can be used to create user waypoints which will (if
your installation supports this) automatically transfer to your GNS 430.
