GPS NAVIGATION
Up to eleven user waypoints are visible at a time. If more than 11 are available, there is an indication that the
list can be scrolled down and/or up. If there are less than 11, the unused area matches the background color
and the scroll bar is not be visible. If there are no user waypoints in the list, text indicating that there are no
nearest user waypoints is displayed.
Information about the selected user waypoint includes the user comment and location (latitude and longitude).
If there are no user waypoints, the user comment is blank and the position data is dashed.
Reference Waypoints for the selected user waypoint are those specified when the user waypoint was created.
If there is only one valid reference waypoint, the bearing and distance from the reference waypoint is stated
and the second reference waypoint information is dashed. If there are no user waypoints or no valid reference
waypoints, the reference waypoint fields are dashed.
If there are two valid reference waypoints, the bearings from the reference waypoints are stated and the first
reference waypoint’s distance field is dashed.
A map of the currently selected user waypoint and surrounding data is displayed which at a minimum shows
the selected user waypoint and the current aircraft position. A line is drawn between the current position and
the selected user waypoint.
Selecting a nearest user waypoint:
1) With the Nearest User Waypoint Page displayed, press the FMS Knob to activate the cursor. If any previously
entered User Waypoints are within 200 nm, these will be displayed with the closest listed first.
2) Turn the FMS Knob to select the desired waypoint. The remaining information on the Nearest User Waypoint
Page pertains to the selected Nearest User Waypoint.
3) Press the FMS Knob to remove the flashing cursor.
