User Waypoints

In addition to the airport, VOR, NDB and intersec-

tion information contained in your Jeppesen NavData

®

 

card, the 400W-series units allow you to store up to 
1,000 user-defined waypoints. The user waypoint 
page displays the waypoint name (up to five charac-
ters long), identifier and radial from two reference 
waypoints, distance from one reference waypoint, along 
with the user waypoint’s latitude/longitude position. 

The following descriptions and abbreviations 

appear on the user waypoint page: 

• REF WPT—   Reference waypoint identifier 

(name)

• RAD—

Radial from reference waypoint, in
degrees magnetic or degrees true 
(depending upon unit configuration)

• DIS—

Distance from reference waypoint, in
nautical miles/statute miles/kilome-
ters (depending upon unit configura-
tion)

• Position—   Latitude/Longitude (degrees/minutes

or degrees/minutes/seconds), MGRS 
or UTM/UPS

User waypoints may only be selected by name (iden-

tifier), as described in the beginning of Section 6. 

User waypoints may be created from the user 

waypoint page or the map page. To create a new user 
waypoint, simply enter its name (identifier) and 
position, or reference another waypoint by radial and 
distance.

the small right knob to activate the cursor.
