3.6.4.3 Storing by Bearing/distance
Occasionally, you may wish to enter a waypoint into memory by describing
the waypoint’s position as a bearing and distance from your own current
position. This is easily accomplished with your NAV unit.
However, while describing a range or distance from your vessel should not
be a problem, it is important to make sure your “bearing” information is in
“magnetic” IF the magnetic variation is “ON”.
If you wish to enter a
waypoint
position as a bearing and range from your
present position, press the
lBEARING/DISTANCE
1
softkey
on the STORE
WAYPOINTTYPE
menuscreen.
First, type the numeric value of the BEARING

information. Begin the entry with
“0”
if the
WPT
~02
bearing is less than 100’.

the

bearing value is displayed correctly.

Bearing = 45’
Now
the
DISTANCE
(RNG)
can be entered using three digits (up to 99.9). If
the range is less than 10.0 miles, type a
“0”
first, followed by the remaining
two digits. Press
-1
when the
DISTANCE
value is displayed correctly.
Example:
Press
0,6,4,-i
for Range = 6.4 nm.
If you make an error entering the numeric value, press
t.hejj[
key.
Then retype the correct value.
When
[B]
is pressed, the display will calculate a L/L to store as the
waypoint. During this time, the unit will display a
"CALCULATING" message.
Please wait for the message to disappear before continuing to the next
operation. The screen will change back to the Waypoint Directory.

Waypoint
List Operations
As mentioned earlier, the
Waypoint
List lets you scan through the contents
of the waypoint memories. You can select any of the stored waypoints to
Edit, Copy, Protect, Measure or Erase from this page. In addition the
waypoint list, which is normally arranged in sequential memory # order, may
be re-sorted alphabetically by name for ease in locating specific waypoints
using
themsoftkey.
