11.7 Calculating R/B Between Two Points

You can calculate the range and bearing between any two points. Three methods are available: by latitude and longitude, by cursor, and by waypoint numbers.

Calculating R/B by latitude and longitude

To calculate the range and bearing between latitude and longitude points;

1.Press [MENU], [9], and [2] to display the CALCULATE RANGE/ BEARING menu.
