3.7. SELECTING AND SCANNING WAYPOINTS
There are four types of waypoints: airports, VORs, NDBs, and user
waypoints. Waypoints in the published data base fall into one of the
first three types. You can create up to 250 user waypoints to
supplement the waypoints in the database (see
section 4.4 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 3-63). (Actually,
the airport identifier can be
entered on any of the three
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 air-
port identifier (figure 3-64).
3. Turn the right inner knob to select
a “K” as the first character (figure
3-65). 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 KLX 135A auto-
matically fills in the identifier of the first waypoint in alphanumeric
