The Waypoint Database
Database
Structure
The Apollo 360 provides an extensive built-in database of
waypoint information to aid the navigator.
Waypoints in the database are divided into 6 categories by
type. This category structure allows you to more easily
search for waypoint information, search for nearest
waypoints, or display waypoints on moving map screens.
The database filters waypoints by these types whenever
you use it, controlling, organizing, and speeding the
delivery of information.
The waypoint types are:
n
Airports (ARPTs)
n
Non-directional beacons (NDBs)
n
Very high frequency omniranges (VORs)
n
Enroute intersections (INTs)
n
User created (USERs)
n
Remote waypoints (REMOs)
The sixth type is Remote (REMO) waypoints. The Apollo
360 will attempt to match received route information with
it’s internal database. It does this by looking for an exact
match with the received identifier and a position match
within 1/100th of a minute of latitude and longitude.
If no match is found, the received identifier and it’s lat/lon
position are stored as a remote waypoint type in the 360
route list.
