Help for using manual Waypoints | |||
A manual Waypoint is a point that you want to specify youself, maybe because you have not found it in the database. Two parameters are mandatory: the Latitude and the Longitude of the point. It is recommended to specify also a name. |
|||
Parameters # and meaning | Examples and Comments | ||
#1 [Point Name] |
Point1 or MyVillage or whatever ... if you don't want to specify any Point Name, put directly a ":" as the 1st character. A Name "UserPTx" will be automatically generated. Tip (use of Ampersand): if you specify the NAME as Code&Description, ex: MyPt1&My Starting Point, the display in the flight log will appear in two separate fields: CODE (truncated to 8 char.) and Description. If no ampersand is specified, the description will be be automatically set to Latitude and Longitude (Lat.../Lng...) |

#2 Latitude (mandatory) |
North hemisphere: N483000 or fractional: 48.5 South hemisphere: S451500 or fractional: -45.25 |
||
#3 Longitude (mandatory) |
