5.4.1. 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.

Select the NAV 2 page (present
position) and press the

F but-

ton. A page like the one in figure
5-19 will be displayed with your
latitude and longitude at the time
you pressed the button. The
user-defined waypoint is initially
given the name USR##, where
## is the first available number
between 01 and 99.

2.

If you wish to use this waypoint
name, press

F and the way-

point creation is complete (figure
5-20). If you want to choose your
own name for it, turn the right
inner knob to select the first
character of the identifier (figure
5-21). Remember that when the
cursor is on, the right inner knob
changes the character and the
right outer knob moves the cur-
sor around.

3.

Spell out the rest of the identifier
using the right inner and outer
knobs (figure 5-22).

4.

Press

F. The USR 1 page for

your new waypoint will be dis-
played with its latitude and
longitude (figure 5-23). The cur-
sor is turned off automatically.

NOTE: Another way to create a
user-defined waypoint at your pre-
sent position is to select the USR
pages, spell out the identifier letter
by letter (see next section), and then
select the Present Pos? option (figure 5-24) and press

F.
