Getting Started

Your Apollo GX can store up to 500 user-defined waypoints in the USER database. The waypoint can be created by providing a Lat/Lon position or by a Radial and Distance from a reference waypoint. Then, you can give your waypoint a name and even include a runway length. You can use up to six characters with upper case letters, numbers, or a space for the name. You can also enter a runway length from 0 to 9999 ft. You are not allowed to use a USER waypoint as the Radial and Distance reference waypoint. This example will create a Lat/Lon-based USER waypoint. For more details on waypoints, see the Waypoint Database section on page 1.
