DETAILED OPERATION
Graphical User Waypoint Editing
Screen 10: View and Edit User Waypoints on the Map Screen
When this Screen first appears, after pressing VIEW MAP on Screen 8, User Waypoint
Viewer Screen, the selected user waypoint will be centrally positioned. The joystick can
be used to move the pointer. The screen window can be moved around to display other
areas of the map by “bumping” the screen borders left, right, up or down with the pointer.
If you need to “bump” the screen over a large distance you will find it quicker and easier to
zoom out first, move across the map as required, then zoom back in. In order to make
these moves swiftly, not all details of the map are shown on screen until the joystick is
released.

Distance and bearing boxes below the map show distance and bearing from the
selected user waypoint (or the last user waypoint entered) to the pointer. This
feature allows you easily to enter new user waypoints as a distance and bearing from a
previously entered user waypoint.
New user waypoints can be created wherever the pointer is placed, simply by pressing
Key 2, ENTER WPT. Positioning the pointer directly over an icon and then pressing Key
5, DELETE WPT, will delete existing user waypoints. Should you attempt to delete a user
waypoint that is being used in a stored flight plan, the [PRESENT IN FLIGHT PLAN]
message box will be displayed and the user waypoint will NOT be deleted. Pressing Key
5, DELETE WPT, a second time will then delete the user waypoint. Alternatively if you
move the joystick, the [PRESENT IN FPLN] message will be removed without deleting the
user waypoint. Key 1, PREV PAGE returns to the screen entered from, saving any
changes made.
Each new user waypoint graphically created on the map will automatically be given the
next available user waypoint number as a temporary name and the default icon but you
can alter the name and icon later by using Screen 9, Manual User Waypoint Edit Screen.
