You can access the Waypoint database by either looking directly or by using a feature that draws information from the database, such as using Emergency Search or creating a Flight plan. This section will describe going directly into the database, the other methods of using the waypoint database will be covered in the sections about the specific features. See “Select a Waypoint” in the Getting Started section on page 1 for more details on searching for waypoints.
