Waypoint - Leica MX400 Operating Instructions Manual

Waypoint

Waypoint
The Waypoint Bank (WPT) is a single list of up to 2000 waypoints
that you store for use in the routes you create. It also stores special
coordinates and time for you, through the use of the Mark or Event
function key or external input, or the MOB function key or external
input. You can also enter waypoints from other NMEA 0183
devices (see CFG1 WPT & RTE In), such as plotters. You can also
output waypoints and routes from the receiver to other NMEA 0183
devices (see CFG1 NMEA Out Rnn, RTE, and WPL).
You can input very accurate coordinates, down to 18cm in Lat/Lon,
0.1m in UTM or 0.1µs in TDs. You can select from more than 110
Datums to store your waypoints in. The CFG1 Position screen
controls which coordinate reference system is used by the receiver.
While entering waypoints in the list is pretty straight forward, the
software does provide some nice features that should be mentioned
before any examples are given.
There are six methods to view or sort waypoints by:
Ø Sort By Number - displays the waypoints in waypoint numeri-
cal order, starting with waypoint 0,
Note: You can manually alter Waypoint 0 to a different
Point Of Departure if you don't want to start your
route from your present position.
Ø Sort By Name - displays the waypoints by name in alphabetical
order,
Ø Sort By Type - displays the waypoints by symbols, numbers,
then names,
Ø Sort By Distance - displays the waypoints which are closest to
your present location first,
Ø Sort By Age - displays the waypoints entered most recently,
first.
