Setting Relative Waypoints

This subsection explains how to set a waypoint so that it is always displayed the same relative distance from another waypoint.

To set one waypoint as relative to another:

1.As explained previously, create two waypoints, or, decide which two existing waypoints you want to use. For the sake of this example, we’ll call the first waypoint WP1 and the second WP2.

2.On the chart, double-click WP2. The Waypoint Properties dialog box is displayed (Figure 4-20).

3.Click the Relative checkbox. The Pinged checkbox appears to the right of the Relative checkbox.

4.Click the Pinged checkbox to “uncheck” it. The Pinged checkbox disappears and a drop-down menu with a list of waypoint names appears. Observe that the Latitude and Longitude fields also switch to Range and Bearing, respectively.

5.Click the drop-down menu, and select WP1 from the list.
