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

softkey

on the STORE

WAYPOINTTYPE

menuscreen.

First, type the numeric value of the BEARING

information. Begin the entry with

“0”

if the

bearing is less than 100’.

bearing value is displayed correctly.

for

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.

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.
