KMD 250 Pilot's Guide
Section 1
Basic Operation
USER WAYPOINTS
User waypoints can be entered as either user defined waypoints or as
airports. The KMD 250 allows for the programming of up to 1,000 user
waypoints. User waypoints are stored on the KMD 250 data card and
can be transferred to a new data card when installed.
These waypoints can be used for flight plans if the KMD 250 contains the
optional internal GPS, but only if the internal GPS is currently being used
for navigation. Flight plans running on an external GPS cannot utilize
waypoints stored in the KMD 250.
KMD 250 systems that do not have the internal GPS also allow user
waypoints to entered, but can only be used for marking points on the
map for such things as points of interest, landing locations not contained
in the database, etc.
ENTERING A USER WAYPOINT
The following illustration describes the User Waypoint Edit display.
