Selecting an Entry in the Waypoint List
The Navigator can be used to select an existing item in the Waypoint List.
This can be accomplished using the arrow or alphanumeric keys.
To select an existing item in the Waypoint List:
1. Use the up and down arrow keys to move the selection bar up and
down the list to highlight the desired entry.
or
Press the alphanumeric key that contains the first letter or number of
the desired waypoint name. The selection bar moves to the entry
starting with that letter or number.
If more than one entry begins with that character, the selection bar
moves to the first one in the list. Each time the same key is pressed,
the selection bar moves to the entry starting with the next character
on the key. If no entry exists for that character, the entry starting with
the nearest previous character is selected. If the numeric value of the
key is input when no numeric entry exists, the selection bar moves to
the first alpha entry.
For example, let’s say we have four waypoints named ORION,
POLARIS, QUANTUM, and 6-GUN. Pressing the opq/6 key four
successive times would select the waypoints ORION (O), POLARIS
(P),QUANTUM (Q), then 6-GUN (6). However, pressing the rst/7
key four successive times would select QUANTUM for the first
three key presses because entries beginning with the associated let-
ters do not exist and Q is the next previous beginning letter. The
fourth press of the rst/7 key would select 6-GUN because no entries
begin with a 7 and 6 is the next previous beginning number.
2. Use the ins key like the display’s ENTER key, to close the Waypoint
List. The del key and left and right arrow keys do not function in
select mode.
Editing Entries in the Waypoint, Route, or Track Lists
You can also use the Navigator Keypad to edit an existing item or to n ame
a new item in the Waypoint List, Route List, or Track List. You first must
enter the edit mode for the list you want to modify. Methods for editing
each list are described in the respective sections of this chapter.
