Reference section 3 — Navigating to Waypoints
Designating a waypoint Reference Manual Revision D
If you selected an existing waypoint, the
6000i begins guiding you directly to it.
If you chose a new cursor location, the
6000i makes a new waypoint named
-QUIK-, and guides you directly to it.
Repeating this same procedure will create
a new -QUIK- waypoint that overwrites the
existing one; therefore, you may want to
save the -QUIK- waypoint as a regular way-
point by renaming it. See Editing way-
points, starting on page 70.
Entering a waypoint’s position
coordinates
You can use the keypad to enter waypoint
coordinates, and then go to that waypoint:
1. Press WAYPTS/ROUTES , then press
Quick waypoint
to display the
QUICK
WAYPOINT
screen.
2. If necessary, select the type of coordinates
you want to enter by pressing the Coord
type
menu key:
•
lat/lon
•
distance and bearing from “here”
(your present position), or from
any waypoint stored in the
6000i
•
loran TDs (make sure the GRI dis-
played is correct, and change it if
necessary)
3. Use the keypad to enter the waypoint’s
coordinates.
The initial position shown is your latest fi x.
If you wish, you can now give the
-QUIK-
waypoint a unique name after you’ve
entered its coordinates, since the next
-
QUIK-
waypoint you make will overwrite
this one: Just move the cursor to the
name
fi eld and change the name from
-QUIK-
to
a unique permanent name before continu-
ing.
4. Press ENTER twice.
The 6000i begins guiding you directly to the
waypoint.

described starting on page 65, you can
