To create a waypoint offset from a reference waypoint...
· With the Waypoint Definition Page displayed, press the right arrow key
until the cursor is over the waypoint identifier field.
· Enter the identifier of the new waypoint using the alphanumeric and
arrow keys. Press ENT when complete.
· Press the right arrow key until the cursor is over the reference waypoint
identifier field.
· Enter the identifier of the desired reference waypoint and press ENT.
· Enter the bearing from the reference waypoint to the new waypoint
and press ENT. The bearing will be true or magnetic depending on the
unit setups. (See Section 8.7.)
· Enter the distance from the reference waypoint to the new waypoint
and press ENT. The distance will be in nautical miles, statute miles or
kilometers depending on the unit setups. (See Section 8.7.)
Once the waypoint location is created, the user comment field will automatically
be filled with the date and time the waypoint was created. You may enter a
different user comment by placing the cursor over this field and entering the
new comment with the alphanumeric and arrow keys, followed by ENT when
complete.
You may also modify the position of an existing waypoint from the Waypoint
Definition Page. A waypoint may be changed using the same procedures
described above for creating a waypoint, by direct position entry (latitude/
longitude or grid system) or relative to an existing waypoint. When modifying
an existing waypoint, the new position data is entered directly over the old
data. For a given data field, once the ENT key is pressed the position data
is updated. (NOTE: If a waypoint is being used for navigation, its position
cannot be modified. An attempt to modify the position of such a waypoint will
result in the message "Cannot change active waypoint".)
