Garmin GNS 530W Pilot's Manual & Reference page 145

To create a new user waypoint by referencing an
existing waypoint:
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 and press
ENT.
3. Turn the large right knob to highlight the first
reference waypoint (REF WPT) field.
Use the small and large right knobs to enter the name of the
reference waypoint. Press ENT and the cursor moves to the
radial (RAD) field.
4. Use the small and large right knobs to enter
the identifier of the reference waypoint. The
reference waypoint can be an airport, VOR,
NDB, intersection or another user waypoint.
Press ENT to accept the selected identifier.
5. The cursor moves to the radial (RAD) field. Use
the small and large right knobs to enter
the radial from the reference waypoint to the
new user waypoint. Press ENT to accept the
selected radial.
Creating User Waypoints
NOTE: The 500W-series units allow you to create
a new user waypoint at a defined radial and
distance from your present position. To reference
your present position, follow the steps above,
but press CLR in step #4. "P.POS" appears in the
reference waypoint (REF WPT) field to indicate
that radial and distance information references
your present position.
The second reference waypoint field (REF WPT)
is a temporary reference only — not a refer-
ence that is stored with the user waypoint. You
may also use this in conjunction with the first
reference waypoint to create a position using the
intersection of two radials. By default, this field
displays a radial from the nearest VOR. However,
you can select any waypoint — by identifier
— to use as a reference in this field.
Your 500W-series unit can store user-defined
waypoints which are generated from other equip-
ment in your panel. For example, an EFIS equipped
with joystick inputs can be used to create user
waypoints which (if your installation supports this)
automatically transfer to your 500W-series unit.
6. The cursor moves to the distance (DIS) field.
Use the small and large right knobs to enter
the distance from the reference waypoint to the
new user waypoint. Press ENT to accept the
selected distance.
7. Turn the large right knob to highlight
"Create?" and press ENT.
8. Press the small right knob to remove the
flashing cursor.
