User Waypoints
User waypoints are waypoints entered and named by you. You may
create a User waypoint at any location by entering Latitude/Longitude
coordinates, or by entering the radial/distance from another waypoint.
If you create a User waypoint by entering a radial/distance, the NMC
will calculate the Latitude/Longitude of the waypoint. You should
understand the use of the Waypoint Retriever before executing
procedures in this section. The waypoint Retriever is described in
DB Mode Procedures, “Retrieving a Waypoint” on page 115.
Creating a User Waypoint by Latitude/Longitude
The following procedure is used to create a User waypoint by entering
latitude/longitude coordinates. If there are already 500 User waypoints, you
must delete a previously entered User waypoint to make room for a new
waypoint. For more information, refer to Operations, Deleting a User
Waypoint.
