Distance Between Wayponts; Waypoint Options - Eagle Explorer Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

DISTANCE BETWEEN WAYPOINTS
The Eagle Explorer can easily give you the dis-
tance between two user waypoints. To do this,
first press the WPT key, highlight the "Options"
menu and press the right arrow key, then high-
light the "Dist Btwn WPTS" label and press the
right arrow key. The screen at right appears.
The black box is resting on the "WPT B" label.
Now press the down arrow key to highlight the
waypoint number label. Press the left or right
arrow keys until the desired waypoint appears in
the "WPT B" box.
Once you have the first waypoint showing on the screen, then you need
to choose the other waypoint that you're going to measure. Move the
black box back to the "Select" label at the top of the screen, then press
the left arrow key to select "A". Now choose the waypoint that you wish to
measure. The distance and bearing from the first waypoint "A" to the
second waypoint "B" shows at the bottom of the screen. You can select
more waypoints to measure at this time or press the EXIT key to erase
this screen.

WAYPOINT OPTIONS

You can customize the look of the waypoints on
the plotter, or even turn them off. To do this, first
press the MENU key, then highlight the "WPT/
Icon Opts" label. Press the right arrow key. The
screen shown at right appears.
To keep the waypoints from showing on the plot-
ter, simply press the right arrow key when the
"Waypoints" label is highlighted.
To change the method waypoints show on the
plotter, highlight the "SHOW WPT" label. The de-
fault is numbers. In other words, when the way-
point shows on the plotter, it's number appears in a box, showing both its
identity and location. You can change this from number to name, or sim-
ply an empty box (position) showing no identifiable name or number by
pressing the left or right arrow keys until the desired method appears.
Now press the EXIT key. This erases the menu and returns to the plotter
with your selection.
