By doing this and putting the coordinate you want to maintain in
the RTE1 screen, you will always get the bearing and distance to
the waypoint in the PLOT1 and NAV screens, regardless of your
angle of approach. Note for the plot example above, we turned off
the cross-track error lines, the active route, and track saving to keep
the screen from getting cluttered as you drift.

Grid Search

If you are attempting to search a given area, you can use the
PLOT2 screen to define a known coordinate in your search pattern,
then use both the PLOT1 and PLOT2 screens to view your
progress and help maintain your proper separation. You can also
use the RTE1 screen's Insert New WPT feature in conjunction with
the CFG1 Navigation, WPT Pass Criterion: Distance To WPT (set
the WPT Pass Distance: to the smallest acceptable value) to create
the search pattern you want to follow. In the RTE1 screen, press
Insert New WPT to define the coordinates of the first waypoint.
Then use the Insert New WPT softkey to define subsequent range
and bearing coordinates from your original position. This technique
