Flight Plan Catalog Options

The following options (some covered on the preceding
pages) are available for the Flight Plan Catalog Page:
• 'Activate Flight Plan?' - Allows the pilot to
select the flight plan for navigation guidance, as
described previously in this section.
• 'Invert & Activate FPL?' - Allows the pilot to
reverse the highlighted flight plan and select it for
navigation guidance, as described previously in
this section.
• 'Create New Flight Plan?' - Allows the pilot to
create a new flight plan, as described previously in
this section.
• 'Crossfill?' - Allows the pilot to transfer a Direct-to
destination, the active flight plan, any stored flight
plan or user waypoints to a second 400-Series or
500-Series Garmin unit. Some crossfill operations
can be done automatically. If both units are set
to 'auto', a change in the direct-to destination or
active flight plan on one unit is seen on the other.
For additional information, see Section 10.2,
Flight Planning Page: Crossfill.

If 'Manual' is selected: Turn the large right
knob to select the 'Transfer' field, then turn
the small right knob to select the type of
information to transfer between units (active
flight plan, flight plan, all user waypoints or

the selection.
Turn the large right knob to highlight 'Initiate
