6.8.2
Deletion of Waypoints :
Selecting the waypoint to be deleted is done with the  and  arrow keys. Pressing the F2
key (Del Wp) activates the delete function. To be on the safe side, the COMPETINO asks
for confirmation, “Delete Waypoint?” Yes or No are the choices available. It is possible,
however, to stop the deletion process by pressing Esc and returning to a previous screen.
6.8.3 Insertion of Waypoints
Pressing the F1 key (Ins Wp) activates this function. Entering WP names, altitude, and
position happens in the same way as described above. After confirming all entries with the
Enter key, the new WP is inserted alphabetically in the list.
*There is an easier manner to handle Waypoint lists and transfer them to the unit by utilizing
the PC-Software “Flychart 4.50” ( www.Brauniger.com / Service / Downloads)
Altogether 200 WPs can be stored by the COMPETINO.
Note: After entering new waypoints (for example, for inputting them into a route) they can be
used only after you have switched back to the normal flight mode by repeated briefly
pressing the Esc/O key. In addition, the route into which the new waypoint should be
inserted must not be active. Therefore, first change to route selection by prolonged pressing
of the 

 0.I.II /Route key and, with the help of the F2 key (Cancel Route), deactivate the
route.
6.8.4 Current Coordinate Indicator
Provided the COMPETINO is receiving GPS signals, the actual position is displayed by
pressing the Enter key in the unit’s information field. After 20 seconds, the previous display
will automatically reappear. This function is useful in relaying your location after landing to a
person coming to retrieve you. Every time the Marker function is called, the coordinates are
also displayed
6.8.5 Distance to Waypoint
The horizontal distance to the chosen waypoint is displayed as long as the destination has
been inputted (automatically or manually) by using the Goto function. For distances below
10km the resolution is 10m and, if further, it is 0.1km (please see: 6.9 Goto-Function)
The distance to a WP is always measured to the centre of a WP cylinder and not to its
circumference. However a new userfield can be chosen which shows the distance to the
cylinder circumference. ( Dist Cyl). This function is particularly useful in competitions when
the pilot wants to know the distance to the starting line.
6.8.6 Saving the Current Position
Every now and then a pilot may want to save his/her immediate position as a waypoint. To
do this, press the key for 3 seconds. As confirmation you will hear a double beep and
the current co-ordinates are displayed at the info lines and will be stored in the memory as a
waypoint. The COMPETINO uses the letter M (for marker) for the waypoint designation and
then the date and time.
Example: M.22.04 11:16:49 for 22 April 11 hrs.16 minutes 49 seconds (UTC). Of course, this
WP name can be changed later to one more meaningful.
