Chapter 3 - Using the Controls
A route is a pre-defined
sequence of waypoints.
A leg is a straight line con-
necting two waypoints in a
route.
Page 3-20
You can also search the list for a particular waypoint by enter-
ing the first few characters of the category you're sorting by.
The WAYPOINTS screen has five menu keys—GO TO, TDS,LT/
LN, NEW WAYPT, COPY, and EDIT—that control waypoint
functions.
Use the GO TO key to:
•
go directly to the selected waypoint (erases the future part
of your trip)
•
add the selected waypoints to the end of your current trip
(if you're already past the last waypoint, you'll start navi-
gating along the newly entered leg)
Use the TDS,LT/LN key to:
•
switch between displaying lat/lon coordinates or TDs
Use the NEW WAYPT key to:
•
add a new waypoint to the list
Use the COPY key to:
•
make a new waypoint by editing a copy of an existing one
Use the EDIT key to:
•
edit a waypoint
•
erase a waypoint
For in-depth information about waypoints, see "Creating Way-
points" starting on page 6-1.
Routes screen
The ROUTES screen lists all your stored routes sorted by
whether a route is marked for display on the CHART screen;
whether a route is marked to accept SAVE keypresses; name;
date the route was last modified; total distance covered by
each route (length); and proximity (distance from your present
position). Until you store user-defined routes in the database,
the ROUTES screen will be completely blank.
