Waypoint coordinates can be entered as lat/lon coordinates, loran TDs,
or as distance and bearing from your present location or from any way-
point in the 941X’s memory.
To change the coordinate type from what is currently displayed, press
the
COORD TYPE
menu key until you see the option you want.
Enter the waypoint coordinates as previously described on page 36. If
you make a mistake, press
CLR
to erase any characters from the line and
start over; otherwise, press
ENTER
when the screen is correct.
If you are entering coordinates as distance and bearing, the 941X nor-
mally asks for these coordinates relative to your current position, known
as “–
HERE
–.”
To select an entirely different location from which distance and bearing
are to be measured, such as an existing waypoint, press the
FROM
menu
key. A waypoint list is displayed. You can press the
NEXT LIST
or
COORD OPTION
menu keys to help select the waypoint.
Use the up and down cursor arrow keys to point to the desired waypoint.
Press the
ENTER
key to designate this waypoint and return to the previ-
ous screen. If you wish instead to use your present position as the refer-
ence point, press the
FROM ‘HERE’
menu key on the
‘FROM’
POSITION
screen.
