Project A Waypoint - Eagle IntelliMap Journey Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

Project Position
You can save a waypoint even if you don't know it's position or location on
the map. This unit lets you project the location of a waypoint from a known
waypoint using only bearing and distance from the known waypoint. This
is useful if you don't know the latitude/longitude of a location, but you do
know the distance and bearing from a saved
waypoint or your own position.
(Note: To project a waypoint from your present
position, you must first save your present posi-
tion as a waypoint.)
To use this feature, press the WPT key, then se-
lect a waypoint number that you want to save the
projected waypoint under. Waypoint 7 is used in
this example. Now select "CREATE WAYPOINT",
then "PROJECT POSITION". The screen shown
at the top of this page appears.
The unit needs a location (reference waypoint)
to project the new waypoint from. The default ref-
erence is waypoint number one. Highlight the
"REFERENCE WPT" label on the Project WPT
menu and press the right arrow key. The screen
below right appears. Select a waypoint using ei-
ther the waypoint number or waypoint list. In this
example, waypoint 4 was chosen. When you've
chosen the waypoint, highlight the "SET REFER-
ENCE" label and press the right arrow key. The
unit returns to the Project WPT screen shown
above. The starting waypoint you chose shows
in the middle of this screen. Now set the distance
from the starting waypoint to the projected way-
point by highlighting the "SET DISTANCE" label
and pressing the right arrow key. Use the arrow
keys to set the distance, then press the ENT key
when you're finished. The unit returns to the
Project Position screen. Now enter the bearing
from the starting waypoint to the projected way-
point by selecting "SET BEARING" from the
Project Position screen.
Once you've entered the bearing, the unit returns
to the Project Position screen with the distance
