Create a User Waypoint By Basic Grid

This feature allows you to set a waypoint on the southeast corner Basic Grid coordinate as a User waypoint. You can then fly Direct-To the starting point in a grid for flying a search pattern. You must have selected the Basic Grid type on the SAR Setup page (see page 16) to have this display available.

The SAR Position (see page 18) is a reference point on the southeast corner of a 10° by 10° grid. Each one degree grid is then divided into 30’ and 15’ segments which are noted by alpha characters.
