The Route
Screen
The
Precedus
can store up to 20 reversible trip plans or
“routes” in memory. Each route can consist of up to 30
waypoints using either those you create or those from the
built-in waypoint database.
The route screen shows the status (ON
or OFF) and up to four waypoints of
each route, as well as the desired track
and distance between consecutive
waypoints. Only one route may be
active, or ON, at any time while you
navigate. When the route screen is
displayed, review each route by pressing
when NEXT is highlighted. The
procedure to set up routes is explained
later in this section.
Searching
for Nearest
Waypoints
An important feature of the
Precedus
is its ability to locate
waypoints closest to your position as you fly. Should you
have to land the aircraft quickly, you can use this feature to
locate a nearby waypoint, assign it as a destination, and
quickly navigate to it.
While navigating, press the
button twice to activate the nearest
function and search for waypoints
closest to your present position.
The nearest function screen shows up to
30 nearest waypoints in order of
distance from your present position. The
waypoint type, bearing to the waypoint,
and range to the waypoint also shows.
Press the button to move the arrow cursor down the
list to select a destination. Press to view waypoint
information. Press and then the button to assign
your chosen waypoint as a destination. The display returns to
the navigation function automatically.
