or “After”, and press
ENT
. This setting desig-
nates whether the offset distance defines a
point before you reach the target reference
waypoint or after you reach the waypoint. The
“After” selection is not available for the last
waypoint.
Turn the small right knob to select whether
the distance is “Before” or “After” the refer-
ence waypoint.
7. When using a flight plan, the target refer-
ence waypoint itself can be specified from
the waypoints contained in the flight plan. By
default, the last waypoint in the flight plan is
selected. To select a different waypoint, turn
the
small right knob to select the desired
waypoint and press ENT .
