3.7. SELECTING AND SCANNING WAYPOINTS
There are five types of waypoints: airports, VORs, NDBs, intersections,
and user waypoints. Waypoints in the published data base fall into one
of the first four types. You can create up to 500 user waypoints to
supplement the waypoints in the data base (see section 4.2.1 to create
a user waypoint).
There are three methods you may use to select a specific waypoint for
viewing. You may enter the waypoint’s identifier directly, you may scan
through the waypoint identifiers in alphabetical order, or you may enter
the waypoint’s name. If the waypoint is an airport, you may also select
it by entering the city where the airport is located.
3.7.1. SELECTING WAYPOINTS BY IDENTIFIER
The most direct way of selecting a specific waypoint is to simply enter
the waypoint’s identifier directly on the appropriate waypoint page
type (APT, for example). Let’s use Chicago O’Hare International
Airport whose identifier is KORD as an example.
To select a waypoint by identifier from a waypoint page:
1. Use the right outer and inner
knobs to select the Airport 1 (APT
1) page (figure 3-68). (Actually,
the airport identifier can be
entered on any of the Airport
pages but we’ll use the APT 1
since it displays the airport name
and city).
2. Turn on the cursor ( B ) and
make sure the right inner knob is
pushed in. The cursor will
appear over the first character of
the airport identifier (figure 3-69).
3. Turn the right inner knob to select
a “K” as the first character (figure
3-70). You may turn the knob
either clockwise or counterclock-
wise, and the letters and
numbers wrap around with a
blank character separating the “9” and the “A”. Notice that as
you turn through letters, the KLN 89(B) automatically fills in the
identifier of the first waypoint in alphanumeric order in the data-
