four-character entries, and for intersections and five-character entries. Entries
for
lat/lon points must be six or more characters to be recognized.
o
City and airport names get lower priority than identifiers.

If position information is available, proximity to current position or a route
waypoint moves a waypoint up the list.
Entering a Waypoint by Latitude/Longitude
You can enter a waypoint that is not in the Jeppesen database by typing in a latitude
and longitude. Enter degrees, minutes, and decimal minutes as shown in the
following format:
Format = Nddmm.hhWdddmm.hh
• N = North (N) or South (S).
• E = West (W) or East (E).
• dd and ddd = degrees. Pad with leading zeros to make two latitude or three
longitude digits (see below for examples).
o N45W122
— North 45 degrees, West 122 degrees.
o S05E007
— South 5 degrees, East 7 degrees. You must use leading zeros if
latitude degrees are only one digit, or longitude is less than three digits.
• mm = minutes. Optional, but if you use it, pad with zeros to make two digits.
o N4504W12206
— North 45 degrees, 4 minutes. West 122 degrees, 6 minutes.
• hh = Tenths or hundredths of minutes. Optional. Enter one digit for tenths or
two digits for hundredths.
o S4504.2E02206.5
— South 45 degrees, 4.2 minutes, East 22 degrees, 6.5
minutes.
o S4504.23E02206.63
— South 45 degrees, 4.23 minutes, East 22 degrees,
6.63 minutes.
TIP
If you are using a pointing device, you can also click/touch on the enroute
chart and the Enter Waypoint text box automatically displays the
information. If it did not show the point you wanted, zoom in closer and
try again.
If the notation [No Waypoint] appears instead of the waypoint icon and WP X with
the lat/lon, check that the number of digits is correct for the degrees and minutes.
Entering Bearing and Distance from Another Waypoint
You can enter a waypoint using a bearing and distance from a VOR, NDB, airport or
intersection. Enter the waypoint identifier, followed by the radial (bearing) and
distance, in the following format:
Format = nnn/rrr/ddd
