coordinates and datum in which it is stored, and your present bearing
and range to this location (as opposed to the waypoint you are travel-
ing towards in your active route).
If you want to alter your present course, you can do it very quickly
from here.
1. Move the magnifying glass to the new waypoint you want to go to.
2. Press the GOTO function key.
3. Press the E key. You are done!
What the above routine actually does is insert two new waypoints
into your active route. Let’s say that you have an active route with 7
waypoints (21 through 27) in it. Some time after you pass the first 4
waypoints (WPT 24), you decide that you want to alter your course to
a waypoint in the Waypoint Bank, but you can’t recall the waypoint
number. So you go into the
PLOT1 screen, locate WPT 35 with the
magnifying glass and press the GOTO function key. At this point, the
active route (RTE1) is modified by placing a new waypoint, your present
position (i.e. WPT 1996), after WPT 24. This new waypoint is shown in
inverse video, indicating that you have already passed the position.
This is good for you because you can indicate in your logs later on
when and where you altered your course by the time stamp and coor-
dinates in WPT 1996. Next, you will see WPT 35 in normal video,
followed by waypoints 25, 26, and 27.
