The nav log contains the series of
waypoints that you follow along your route
and displays them in sequential order.
When you navigate to these waypoints, or
along an already stored route, the series of
waypoints is copied into the nav log, which
acts as a kind of "scratch pad" to monitor
your progress. You can change the nav

affecting the original route, which remains
safely stored in the 972.
