6 MCDU NAMING and DATA FORMAT
 If the OPC option ”WAYPOINT ABBREVIATION” is NXXEXXX:
The identifier of a LAT/LONG entry
inserted by pilot is abbreviated as
N or S plus the first two characters
of the latitude portion and E or W
plus the first three characters of t
longitude portion of the LAT/
entry.
he
LONG
E.g.: N45W122 would represent a
waypoint located in the trapezium
defined by the following marks
45°00.0'N/122°00.0'W,
45°00.0'N/122°59.9'W,
45°59.9'N/122°00.0'W and
45°59.9'N/122°59.9'W.
This identifier may be used like any
other waypoint identifier.
Subsequently, if more than one
LAT/LONG waypoint has the same
identifier, the duplicates appear on
the DUPLICATE NAMES page for
appropriate selection.
A waypoint defined this way
becomes one of the 20 pilot defined
waypoints.

Due to the above rules, two
LAT/LONG WPTs may have the
same identifier.
Be careful when entering
coordinates.
Any time coordinates may be
reviewed via LAT REV function at
the WPT.

for a LL WPT at:
