Single latitude or longitude crossing point
in the route, for example:
To find the next crossing of the S02°
latitude in the route, starting the search
on the 7th leg,
enter S02 in the 7th leg.
(When the crossing is found in the 9th
leg, for instance, the FMC will insert a
new waypoint named S02 before the 9th
waypoint.)
Latitude or longitude crossing intervals,
for example:
To create multiple crossing points at 5°
longitude intervals, starting at the first
crossing of the E024° longitude,
enter E024-5 in the first leg.
(When the crossing is found in the 20th
leg, for instance, the FMC will insert a
new waypoint named E024 before the
20th waypoint, and insert additional
points named E029, E034, and so on, at
the respective geographic crossing points
along the remainder of the route.)
(For examples on latitude and longitude
crossing points, refer to the next two pages
