Press the RTE function key. You will see two waypoints defined in
the center of the screen.
Waypoint 0, the first waypoint, is your Point of Departure, or the
position you were at when you created the route. The CDU saves and
displays the original coordinates, date and time when you created the
route in Waypoint 0.
Waypoint 0 is displayed in Inverse Video, that is, white characters on
a black background (when in the normal Daylight display mode; see
CFG Lighting). This indicates that you have already passed this co-
ordinate. The time stamp at the lower portion of the description win-
dow, indicates when the route was created.
To the right of the coordinate window of Waypoint 0 is a bent arrow.
The bend in the arrow is adjacent to the range and bearing between
the waypoint you just passed and the waypoint you are approaching.
Version 3.0
is briefly displayed indicating that the active route will be re-
placed with the GOTO route.
If you decide you don't want to continue with this function,
highlight the Escape softkey and press ENT, then select
another function key (e.g. NAV). Your original route will be
left intact.
