2.5 WAYPOINTS
Waypoints are predetermined geographical positions (internal database) or pilot-
entered positions, and are used for all phases of flight planning and navigation.
Waypoints can be selected by entering the ICAO identifier, entering the name of
the facility, or by entering the city name.
The waypoint function allows the pilot to review airport/runway information,
frequencies, Airport Directory information (if available), weather information (if avail-
able) and Terminal Procedure Charts, by touching the desired tab (Info, Freq, WX,
AOPA, or TERPs). The pilot can manually enter the identifier or the aera 795/796
will choose the most appropriate identifier based on the current position and phase
of flight.
