The starting route waypoint is indicated under the departure date field, with
a list of the remaining route waypoints in sequence below. The distance, fuel
required and ETE displayed are the total values from the starting waypoint to
each listed waypoint, with the desired track representing the course between
any two route waypoints.
From the route waypoint list, you can use the
K keypad to scroll through
the entire list and review individual route legs by highlighting the desired
destination waypoint and pressing the
C key.
The Point-To-Point route planning window lets you review leg totals for

with the sunrise and sunset at your destination are also displayed. You can use
the leg planning window to perform additional speed, fuel and time calcula-
tions. To return to the main route planning page, press the EXIT softkey.
