Keypad & Display Description | 35
Use the cursor key to scroll through the available dened routes, which are created 4
in the RTE 2 screen, in numerical order.
When you have found the route you want, highlight the
5 Insert Fwd or the Insert
Reverse softkey and press ENT. Insert Fwd enters the route from the top of the
dened list into the active route. Insert Reverse enters the route from the bottom
of the dened list into the active route so that you can travel down the route in the
reverse direction.
You can then choose to select another route using the same method or select
6
another method to enter waypoints.
Don’t forget to press the
7 EDIT key to end your editing.
Maneuvering Within the Route
Scrolling
You can use the cursor key to scroll up and down the active route points. You will probably
want to do this when you update your log book to indicate when you passed a given
waypoint, or when you want to know the ETA to a waypoint other than the one you are
currently traveling towards. It is also a good idea to set the cursor at the correct waypoint
before entering the edit mode to insert or delete waypoints from the route.
Skipping and Unpassing Waypoints
You are likely to run into an occasional circumstance where you accidentally skipped a
waypoint (due to your waypoint pass criteria selection in the CFG1 Navigation screen, or
a manual skip in the NAV screens), and you want to switch back to a previous waypoint in
the active route. You may also decide at some point that you want to skip the current or
subsequent waypoints in the route. The MX51x will allow you to accomplish both of these
tasks.
The easiest way to accomplish either of these tasks is to scroll through the route with the
cursor key until the cursor arrow is at the bottom of the last waypoint you want designated
as passed (that is, white characters on a black background), whether this waypoint was
passed several waypoints ago or is yet to be passed. Then press the EDIT key.
Use the up () softkey to unpass or the down () softkey to pass waypoints in the route
until the waypoint marked by the cursor is displayed with white characters on a black
background (Daylight display, see CFG1 Lighting).
Press the EDIT key to end editing.
If for some reason you can’t select the desired waypoint (the screen keeps passing
waypoints you unpassed), you are probably too close to the waypoint. You will need to
either change your Waypoint Pass Criteria, change your Waypoint Pass Distance (see CFG1
Navigation), or remove the waypoint from the route.
