Customizing The Display - NorthStar MX500 Operator's & Installation Manual

Operator's Manual
If you want to alter your present course, you can do it very quickly
from here.
1. Move the magnifying glass to the new waypoint you want to go
2. Press the GOTO function key.
3. Press the EDIT key. You are done!
What the above routine actually does is insert two new waypoints
into your active route. Let's say that you have an active route with 7
waypoints (21 through 27) in it. Some time after you pass the first 4
waypoints (WPT 24), you decide that you want to alter your course to
a waypoint in the Waypoint Bank, but you can't recall the waypoint
number. So you go into the PLOT1 screen, locate WPT 35 with the
magnifying glass and press the GOTO function key. At this point,
the active route (RTE1) is modified by placing a new waypoint, your
present position (i.e. WPT 1996), after WPT 24. This new waypoint
is shown in inverse video, indicating that you have already passed
the position. This is good for you because you can indicate in your
logs later on when and where you altered your course by the time
stamp and coordinates in WPT 1996. Next, you will see WPT 35 in
normal video, followed by waypoints 25, 26, and 27.
