Chapter 8 - Understanding Waypoint/Route Navigation

Navigating to waypoints

There are several ways you can navigate to waypoints:

•

•

• choose a cursor location or select an existing waypoint — you can do both of these right on the CHART screen enter position coordinates numerically select a stored waypoint from a list of waypoints

Navigating on the chart screen

You can go to a waypoint by choosing a cursor location on the

CHART screen, or by selecting an existing waypoint on the

CHART screen:

1. On the CHART screen, move the CURSOR PAD to choose a cursor location or an existing waypoint or nav aid.

2. If you chose a cursor location, press the GO TO CURSOR menu key. If you selected a waypoint, press the GO TO

WAYPT menu key.

3. Press the ENTER key.

If you selected an existing waypoint, the 958 begins guiding you directly to it.

If you chose a new cursor location, the 958 stores the location as a new waypoint with the name -QUIK, and begins guiding you directly to it. Repeating this same procedure will create a new QUIK waypoint that overwrites the existing one; therefore, you may want to change any

-QUIK waypoints to regular waypoints by giving them unique names. For details about renaming waypoints, see

”Editing waypoints” starting on page 83.

Navigating by entering position coordinates

You can use the KEYPAD to enter waypoint coordinates, and then go to the waypoint:

1. Press the WAYPTS/ROUTES key, then press the QUICK

WAYPOINT menu key to display the QUICK WAYPOINT screen.
