Introducing waypoints
A waypoint is a point (a location) that
you’ve entered into the 972’s memory. The
waypoint is displayed on the chart with the
symbol you’ve chosen.
Here are some of the functions you can
perform with waypoints:
•
go to a point on the
Chart
screen in one
step (making a “quick” waypoint)
•
store waypoints into the 972
•
go to these waypoints
•
string waypoints together to form
routes
•
edit or erase waypoints or routes
•
plot waypoints on a chart
•
transfer waypoints and routes from the
972 to a PC or an older Northstar
navigator, and back again
Designating a waypoint
You can designate waypoints in any of the
following ways:
•
use the cursor on the
Chart
screen to
select an existing waypoint or create a
new waypoint
•
enter numeric position coordinates
•
select an existing waypoint from a list
You can also string together several
waypoints to form a
route , and let the 972
guide you from one waypoint to the next
(see
Introducing routes, on page 71).
Designating a waypoint on the chart
screen
You can go to a waypoint by moving the
cursor to that point on the chart — either
selecting an existing waypoint on the
Chart
screen, or designating any other location
on the
Chart
screen:
1. On the Chart screen, move the cursor pad to
choose an existing waypoint or nav aid, or any
unmarked chart position.
2. Press
Go to waypt
. (If you didn’t choose a
waypoint, the key will read
Go to cursor
or
Go to navaid
.)
3. Press ENTER .
If you selected an existing waypoint, the
972 begins guiding you directly to it.
To store a route, see
page 71.
