Eventide ARGUS 5000 - User Waypoints

User Waypoints
The Argus can store over 600 user waypoints. This is an extremely handy capability.
(The mechanics of creating and modifying user waypoints were discussed under the
Waypoints heading.) User waypoints can be used in several ways:
To mark a feature of interest. You just flew over a scenic landmark. A beautiful
house. An antenna farm. The White House. Create waypoints LNDMK, BHOUS,
ANFRM, WOOPS. You can then return to them without keeping notes.
To compensate for database limitations. Due to space
limitations, the Argus only shows airports with runways
longer than approximately 2000 feet. If you occasionally
use an airport or two with shorter runways, add them
yourself.
To help find locations on the ground. Large airports can
be confusing. If the accuracy of your navigation receiver
permits, you can mark specific locations on a given
airport.
To create deviations in flightplans. If a flightplan you
create takes you through class B, C or other airspace you
wish to avoid, a strategically placed user waypoint can
cause
the plan to deviate around the area to be avoided.
To create specialized flightplans. If you need to fly a
grid pattern on, say, a search-and-rescue mission, the user
waypoints can create the necessary grid, and a flightplan
connecting them covers the area you wish to search. The
first illustration shows the creation of a user waypoint on
a grid point. Once you have created user waypoints on
the grid you wish to follow (SARI through SAR7),
create a flightplan. Activate the flightplan (3rd
illustration) and fly it.
