There are several ways you can navigate to waypoints:
•
choose a cursor location or select an existing waypoint —
you can do both of these right on the CHART screen
•
enter position coordinates numerically
•
select a stored waypoint from a list of waypoints
You can go to a waypoint by choosing a cursor location on the
CHART screen, or by selecting an existing waypoint on the
CHART screen:
1. On the CHART screen, move the CURSOR PAD to choose
a cursor location or an existing waypoint or nav aid.
2. If you chose a cursor location, press the GO TO CURSOR
menu key. If you selected a waypoint, press the GO TO
WAYPT menu key.
3. Press the ENTER key.
If you selected an existing waypoint, the 957 begins guid-
ing you directly to it.
If you chose a new cursor location, the 957 stores the
location as a new waypoint with the name -QUIK-, and
begins guiding you directly to it. Repeating this same pro-
cedure will create a new -QUIK- waypoint that overwrites
the existing one; therefore, you may want to change any
-QUIK- waypoints to regular waypoints by giving them
unique names. For details about renaming waypoints, see
"Editing waypoints" starting on page 75.
You can use the KEYPAD to enter waypoint coordinates, and
then go to the waypoint:
1. Press the WAYPTS/ROUTES key, then press the QUICK
WAYPOINT menu key to display the QUICK WAYPOINT
screen.
