‘Present Position’, when selected, will move the currently selected user waypoint to the present position of
the aircraft. The user waypoint is set to the airplane’s position at the time when the option was selected.

‘Auto Comment’, when selected, will overwrite the currently selected user waypoint comment with an
automatically generated comment. Auto comments are in the same format as comments that are generated
for user waypoints that have not specified unique user waypoint comments. The auto comment can be one
of three styles:
• REF1BRG1 / DIS1 - if the user waypoint position is defined by a reference 1 waypoint radial and distance
(this is generally the default case, but the default case could also be the blank case if there are no reference
waypoints near the user waypoints position.
• REF1BRG1 / REF2BRG2 - if the user waypoint position is defined by a reference 1 waypoint radial and a
reference 2 waypoint radial
• BLANK - if no reference waypoints are near the user waypoints position
Overwriting the currently selected user waypoint’s comment with an automatically generated
comment:
1) Select the desired waypoint on the User Waypoint Information Page.
