Waypoints in the database are divided into 6 categories by type. This category structure allows you to more easily search for waypoint information, search for nearest waypoints, or display waypoints on moving map screens. The database filters waypoints by these types whenever you use it, controlling, organizing, and speeding the delivery of information.

Very high frequency omniranges (VORs)
Enroute intersections (INTs)
User created (USERs)
Remote waypoints (REMOs)
The sixth type is Remote (REMO) waypoints. The Apollo 360 will attempt to match received route information with it’s internal database. It does this by looking for an exact match with the received identifier and a position match within 1/100th of a minute of latitude and longitude.
If no match is found, the received identifier and it’s lat/lon position are stored as a remote waypoint type in the 360 route list.
