used for all phases of flight planning and navigation.

Waypoints can be selected by entering the ICAO identifier, entering the name of the facility, or by entering the
city name. See the System Overview section for detailed instructions on entering data. As a waypoint identifier,
facility name, or location is entered, the Spell’N’Find™ feature scrolls through the database, displaying those
waypoints matching the characters which have been entered to that point. A direct-to navigation leg to the
selected waypoint can be initiated by pressing the Direct-to Key on any of the waypoint pages.
