In addition to the airport, VOR, NDB and intersec-
tion information contained in your Jeppesen NavData
®
card, the 400W-series units allow you to store up to
1,000 user-defined waypoints. The user waypoint
page displays the waypoint name (up to five charac-
ters long), identifier and radial from two reference
waypoints, distance from one reference waypoint, along
with the user waypoint’s latitude/longitude position.
