Before you adjust your position, set your WPT Pass
Criterion to Distance in the CFG1 Navigation screen. To
adjust your position, pick a point near your first way-
point. A distance of 1 or 2 miles from the first waypoint
is good to start with. Go to the POS1 screen and press
EDIT.
Next, press the NAV function key, then the E key. Press
the Reset XTE softkey. Press the EDIT key. This resets
your cross-track error and updates the active route in
RTE1 with the adjusted position.
Now just use the CDU as you normally would. You can
output NMEA 0183 data records to other devices. Be
careful, however, other instruments will interpret the
data as completely valid. So, don’t run the Demonstration
Mode while you are underway and connected to devices
that are being used in real time, like your autopilot.
