WAYPOINTS

In navigation terminology, a particular location is known as a “Waypoint,” whether it be a starting point, a destination point or an intermediate point on a voyage.

The GD/GP-3300 series has 98 waypoints into which you can enter position information. They are numbered from “zero-zero” (00) to ninety-nine (99) and colored yellow. (Waypoint color cannot be changed.) Waypoint “00” is reserved for use when your present posi- tion is used as a starting waypoint, to find range and bearing to a point. This will be explored in more detail later.

Waypoint “99” is an external waypoint where “To” waypoint selected on the connected navaid is automatically stored.
