5.4.6 The SAVE page
Sometimes it is handy to create a user waypoint at the
present position. The KLN 900 provides a special button
to make this job easier, the
S
button. Creating a user
waypoint at the present position can be done by pressing
the
S
button. When the
S
button is pressed the
S
page appears on the right with the present position dis-
played. The cursor is over the WPT Ident field (Figure 5-
81). This field is automatically filled with the first unused
WPT from the list USR01 - USR99 and US100 - US999.
Note that only a total of 1000 user waypoints are allowed.
(250 for ORS 01 units). The WPT name can be changed
to a name that is more meaningful by using the right inner
and outer knobs. If the
E
button is pressed with a
unique SUP ident displayed, a user waypoint will be cre-
ated and the SUP page will be displayed. It’s that simple!
If an ident is entered which is not a unique SUP ident,
then Figure 5-84 will be displayed with the pilot entered
SUP ident displayed. Pressing
E
overwrites the previ-
ous SUP waypoint position; pressing
F
reverts to the
page shown in figure 5-82 with the user entered identifier
still being displayed in the identifier field. If there are
already 1000 (250 for ORS 01 units) user waypoints
when the
E
button is pressed with an unique SUP
ident, the scratchpad message “USR DB FULL” will be
displayed.
For example, to create a unique user waypoint called
HOME if your present position was KIXD located at N 38°
49.91 and W 94°53.39:
1. Press the
S
button (figure 5-81).
2. Use the right inner knob to enter “H”.
3. Turn the right outer knob one step clockwise to position
the cursor over the second character and then use the
right inner knob to select the “O”.
4. Continue this process to enter the “M” and “E” (figure 5-
82)
5. Press
E
and a user waypoint called HOME will have
been created.
6. The SUP (figure 5-83) page will appear.
