5.4.1. CREATING A WAYPOINT AT YOUR PRESENT POSITION
Creating a waypoint at your present position is the simplest possible way
to create a user-defined waypoint. This is nice for “remembering” a spot
you are at. Let’s suppose you’re at a private strip that you want to name
“VALLY”
To create a user-defined waypoint at your present position:
1. Select the NAV 2 page (present
position) and press the F but-
ton. A page like the one in figure
5-19 will be displayed with your
latitude and longitude at the time
you pressed the button. The
user-defined waypoint is initially
given the name USR##, where
## is the first available number
between 01 and 99.
2. If you wish to use this waypoint
name, press F and the way-
point creation is complete (figure
5-20). If you want to choose your
own name for it, turn the right
inner knob to select the first
character of the identifier (figure
5-21). Remember that when the
cursor is on, the right inner knob
changes the character and the
right outer knob moves the cur-
sor around.
3. Spell out the rest of the identifier
using the right inner and outer
knobs (figure 5-22).
4. Press F. The USR 1 page for
your new waypoint will be dis-
played with its latitude and
longitude (figure 5-23). The cur-
sor is turned off automatically.
NOTE: Another way to create a
user-defined waypoint at your pre-
sent position is to select the USR
pages, spell out the identifier letter
by letter (see next section), and then
select the Present Pos? option (figure 5-24) and press F.
