Waypoint edit

The Waypoint Edit page is used to edit or add waypoints to the database. This page is automatically

skipped if the aircraft is moving faster than 10 km/h.

On entry to the waypoint edit page, the number of waypoints is

displayed. Pressing [OK] confirms that waypoints are to be

edited and [ESC] returns to the main page.

The waypoint edit method page allows the user to select which

method is to be used to edit waypoints. Pressing [Left] creates

a new waypoint, [Right] displays a waypoint selection list from

which a waypoint may be edited (if there are waypoints in the

database). Pressing [OK] uploads waypoints from the USB

key, and pressing [ESC] exits to the main page.

To load waypoints from USB, the waypoint file must be named “FLARMnav.dat” in the root directory of the

USB stick. A maximum of 1024 waypoints can be stored in the database.

Creating a new waypoint requires the user to press [OK] to

confirm, or [ESC] to return to the main page.

Editing a waypoint from the selection list displays a waypoint

and by pressing [Up]/[Down] the user can move between all

items in the waypoint database. Pressing [OK] will edit the

currently displayed waypoint. Pressing [ESC] returns to the

main page, and pressing [Left] returns to the waypoint edit

method page.

Editing an existing waypoint or creating a new waypoint uses

the same method. First, the name of the waypoint is displayed

along with a character cursor. Pressing [Left]/[Right] moves

the cursor left/right; pressing [Up]/[Down] adjusts the letter or

digit at the cursor position, and pressing [OK] signals that

editing of the name is complete.
