Waypoint
The Waypoint Bank (WPT) is a single list of up to 2,000
waypoints that you store for use in the routes you create.
It also stores special coordinates and time, through the
use of the Mark or Event function key or external input,
or the MOB function key or external input. You can also
enter waypoints from other NMEA 0183 devices (see
CFG1 WPT & RTE In), such as plotters. You can also out-
put waypoints and routes from the CDU to other NMEA
0183 devices (see CFG1 NMEA Out Rnn, RTE, and WPL).
You can input very accurate coordinates, down to 18 cm
in Lat/Lon or 0.1 m in UTM. You can select from more
than 110 Datums to store your waypoints in. The CFG1
Position screen controls which coordinate reference sys-
tem is used by the CDU.
While entering waypoints in the list is rather straight
forward, the software does provide some helpful features
that should be mentioned before giving any examples.
There are six methods to view or sort waypoints:
Sort By Number • - displays the waypoints in waypoint
numerical order, starting with waypoint 0.
You can manually alter Waypoint 0 to a different Point of
Departure if you don’t want to start your route from your
present position.
Sort By Name • - displays the waypoints by name in
alphabetical order.
Sort By Type • - displays the waypoints by symbols,
numbers, then names.
Sort By Distance • - displays the waypoints which are
closest to your present location first.
Sort By Age • - displays the waypoints entered most
recently, first.
