NAVIGATE TO A WAYPOINT (GOTO) 

ƒ

 

To quickly navigate to a Waypoint press the 

 key and select if you wish to view 

Waypoints from the “COMP” or “USER” Waypoint lists. Use the arrow keys 

 , 

 to 

highlight the desired Waypoint and press the 

 key to select, and confirm with “YES”. 

6.17.6 

CREATE HOME WAYPOINT 

ƒ

 

To quickly mark your current position as a Waypoint, mark the position as “HOMxxx” in 

the Waypoint list and automatically activate it as an active Waypoint, press the 

 key 

(extra long pressure). A confirming message is shown “ACTIVE MOB” then “NEAR WPT” is 

shown.

ROUTE MANAGEMENT 

ƒ

 

The Digifly Leonardo can store up to 12 Routes with 20 Waypoints on each Route. 

ƒ

 

A Route allows you to automatically navigate to all Waypoints stored in it. 

ƒ

 

The first Route shown is the “Rt 1 Comp” (Competition) Route. To scroll through & view 

the other routes (“Rt 2 User” to “Rt 12 User”) use the keys

,

ƒ

 

At the bottom of the Route screen, the total distance of the Route is shown in (in km). 

ƒ

 

The first Route (Rt 1 Comp) is the special Route for Competition use and only works with 

the Waypoints in the Competition list (“WPT COMP”). 

ƒ

 

The other Routes (Rt 2 User to Rt 12 User) are User Routes and they only work with the 

User Waypoint list (“WPT USER”).
