3.4.5 Waypoint Handling

Associate Waypoint with User Waypoint Alarm: When editing the waypoint, select the icon for the

waypoint. Any Waypoint with this icon will activate a user Waypoint Arrival Alarm if this feature is

turned on in the System Setup - Alarm Setup Menu.

The GEOPILOT provides storage for 1000 Waypoints. These can be a combination of User

Waypoints or Flight Plan Waypoint storage. User Waypoints can be edited, searched and used as

Waypoints within a Flight Plan. User Waypoints can be created from the Moving Map screen or via

the Database page (see Database, Chapter 8 for entering Waypoints from the Database).

Add Waypoint

>Place the cursor at position + ‘ENT’ + “ADD WAYPOINT” + ‘ENT’

Edit Waypoint

>Place the cursor over Waypoint + ‘ENT’ + “EDIT WAYPOINT” + ‘ENT’

The Edit Waypoint box will appear. Using the cursor key scroll through the alphanumerics to create

an eight character name, adjust the Latitude or Longitude or select an icon. Press ‘ENT’ within each

character field to move to the next field. After completing the icon selection, the box will close and

the new data is stored. Remove Waypoint (present only if there is a Waypoint under the cursor

position):

>Place the cursor over Waypoint + ‘ENT’ + “REMOVE WAYPOINT” + ‘ENT’

A shadow of the icon will remain on the screen until the map is redrawn.

3.4.6 Flight Plan

The GEOPILOT provides storage for 10 Flight Plans of 100 legs each. From the Moving Map screen

you can edit and create Flight Plans using the cursor. The Flight Plan edited or created will be the

one that is currently viewed by the software (see Chapter 6).

Creating a Flight Plan

To create a new Flight Plan from the Moving Map screen, be sure the current viewed Flight Plan

(see Chapter 6) is empty. Place the cursor at the desired position on the map, this can be an aero

object (APT, VOR, NDB, INT), User Waypoint or a spot on the map.

>‘ENT’ + “INSERT FP LEG” + ‘ENT’

This will create the first Waypoint within your Flight Plan. Continue this way to add the remaining

Waypoints within your Flight Plan.

Note

If several aero objects are found under the cursor, the system will default the selection as follows: Airport, VOR,

NDB, INT. If no aero object is found, a temporary Waypoint is placed at the coordinates of the cursor and is

named “WPTxxx” (where xxx is a number).

Add Waypoint

To add a Waypoint (leg) to the viewed (current) Flight Plan place the cursor over the position.
