Keypad & Display Description | 53
If you make a mistake, you can use the cursor key to position the cursor over the
mistake and overwrite the error.
Use the DGPS key or cursor key to insert a space in the description, if needed.
Use the CFG key to select a special character, if needed.
To activate the GOTO waypoint, press the
4 EDIT key. A warning is briey displayed
indicating that the active route will be replaced with the GOTO route.
If you decide you don’t want to continue with this function, highlight the Escape
softkey and press ENT, then select another function key (e.g. NAV) and your
original route will have been left intact.
Press the RTE function key. You will see two waypoints defined in the center of the
screen.
Waypoint 0, the first waypoint, is your Point of Departure, or the position you were at when
you created the route. The CDU saves and displays the original coordinates, date and time
when you created the route in Waypoint 0.
Waypoint 0 is displayed in Inverse Video, that is, white characters on a black background
(when in the normal Daylight display mode; see CFG Lighting). This indicates that you have
already passed this coordinate. The time stamp at the lower portion of the description
window, indicates when the route was created.
To the right of the coordinate window of Waypoint 0 is a bent arrow. The bend in the
arrow is adjacent to the range and bearing between the waypoint you just passed and the
waypoint you are approaching. Keep in mind that these are the fixed calculated values
between these two coordinates and not the real time changing values that you will see in
the navigate screens between your present position and your next waypoint during normal
navigation.
Below Waypoint 0 is the waypoint you defined in the GOTO function. Notice that this
information is in standard video, black characters on a white background, and that an
ETA time is displayed in the same position as the waypoint passed time in Waypoint 0.
This indicates that the waypoint has not been passed yet. Remember that the ETA time
is filtered over time, so allow a few minutes for the filter to settle when you first get
underway or make course and speed changes.
