Waypoint & Database
The EKP-III uses three types of Waypoints:
Jeppesen Waypoints are contained in the C-CARD™ and include Airport, VOR, NDB and
Intersection Waypoints. Each of these Waypoints is displayed on the Moving Map by an icon.
These Waypoints can be searched in the Database Menu and identified on the Moving Map
with Quick Info or Full Info.
Each of these Waypoints can be used in a Flight Plan, for the Nearest Search or GoTo
functions. When used in a Flight Plan, details regarding the Waypoint are displayed in the
Destination box during flight (when DEST is chosen for display in the Data Window, see Par. 3.5.2).
Our Jeppesen library is updated every 28 days. Please contact your local C-MAP office
for update orders and pricing.
User-Defined Waypoints (also called User Waypoints) are created by the user. The user can
create unique 8 character names and choose from 16 icons for each waypoint.
Waypoints can be created and edited both on the Moving Map and in the User Waypoint
Database page. Like the Jeppesen Waypoints, they can be used in a Flight Plan, for the Nearest
Search or GoTo functions.
The EKP-III can store up to 1,000 User-Defined Waypoints within the internal memory.
The internal waypoint memory capacity is shared with Flight Plan waypoints; i.e. if you have 10
flight plans with 10 waypoints stored in the unit memory, there is room for 900 User Waypoints.
Additional Waypoints can be stored in the optional User C-CARD (see Par. 8.4.2).
Temporary Waypoints are created only on the Moving Map and are associated with a partic-
ular Flight Plan. They are named in the format WPT001, WPT002 etc. Temporary Waypoints
can be used at the beginning, middle or end of Flight Plans. They can be used as the destina-
tion of a Direct-To Flight Plan, but cannot be accessed in the Nearest function.
