Adding, Moving and Deleting Waypoints in a Route
If you are currently displaying a route as described above, and the route has
not
been activated, you
can move, delete or add waypoints to it. For example, to move a waypoint, position the cursor over
the waypoint and press the Move key. You can then “drag” the waypoint to the new position.
Important:
It is important to note that the method of editing a route, as described in this
section, is the only method of moving or deleting waypoints that are used in routes. The
normal waypoint edit functions for moving and deleting waypoints described in the previous
section, 3.23 Waypoints, can not be used with waypoints that have been included in routes.
Also, regardless of the above situation, no changes at all can be made to waypoints that are
part of an active route.
Deleting a waypoint is also performed by positioning the cursor over the waypoint. Press the
Remove key to delete the waypoint from the route.
To add a waypoint to the route, position the cursor over the leg in which a waypoint is to be
inserted. A softkey labeled Insert becomes available. Press the Insert key and move the cursor to
the required location for the new waypoint. Press the Add key to create a new waypoint. Press the
Save key to save the waypoint to memory. The new location can also be an existing waypoint.
Distance Calculations
The third function available from the Waypoint Screen is the distance and bearing calculator. The
following diagram illustrates the method used to determine distance and bearing between points on
the chart.
