In addition to the airport, VOR, NDB, and intersection
information contained in the Jeppesen NavData Card,
the GNC 420 allows the pilot to store up to 1,000 user-
defined waypoints. The User Waypoint Page (Figure
7-34) displays the waypoint name (up to five characters
long), identifier, radial from two reference waypoints, and
distance from one reference waypoint, along with the user
waypoint’s latitude/longitude position.

Creating User Waypoints
User waypoints may be created from the User
Waypoint Page or the Map Page. To create a new user
waypoint, simply enter its name (identifier) and position,
or reference another waypoint by radial and distance.
Creating a new user waypoint by entering
its latitude/longitude position:
1) With the User Waypoint Page displayed, press
the small right knob to activate the cursor.
2) Use the small and large
right
knobs to enter
a name for the new waypoint (Figure 7-35)
and press the
ENT
Key. The present position
appears in the position field at the bottom of
the page (Figure 7-36). To create a waypoint at
the present position, turn the large
right knob
to highlight ‘Create?’ and skip to step 6.
