7.11 USER WAyPOINT PAGE

In addition to the airport, VOR, NDB, and intersection
information contained in the Jeppesen NavData Card,
the GNC 420 allows the pilot to store up to 1,000 user-
defined waypoints. The User Waypoint Page (Figure
7-34) displays the waypoint name (up to five characters
long), identifier, radial from two reference waypoints, and
distance from one reference waypoint, along with the user
waypoint' s latitude/longitude position.

Creating User Waypoints
User waypoints may be created from the User
Waypoint Page or the Map Page. To create a new user
waypoint, simply enter its name (identifier) and position,
or reference another waypoint by radial and distance.
Creating a new user waypoint by entering
its latitude/longitude position:
1) With the User Waypoint Page displayed, press
the small right knob to activate the cursor.
2) Use the small and large right knobs to enter
a name for the new waypoint (Figure 7-35)
and press the ENT Key. The present position
appears in the position field at the bottom of
the page (Figure 7-36). To create a waypoint at
the present position, turn the large right knob
to highlight 'Create?' and skip to step 6.
