Project Waypoint Command

The Project Waypoint Command creates a new waypoint a fixed distance and bearing from the selected waypoint.

To project a waypoint, do the following:

Select a single waypoint.
Then, do one of the following:
- On the Waypoint menu, click Project Waypoint.
- Right-click the selected waypoint, and click Project Waypoint.

The Project Waypoint window will appear. Enter the distance and bearing to the new waypoint, and click Project. The Edit Waypoint dialog will appear, allowing you to label the projected waypoint.

Bearing: Enter the bearing to the new waypoint, in true degrees.
Distance: Enter the distance to the new waypoint.
Move to waypoint: If Move to waypoint is checked, the new waypoint will become the starting point for further projections.
Add to route: If Add to route is checked, the new waypoint will be added to a route.

Tips

To project multiple waypoints from a central location, clear Move to waypoint.
To project a new waypoint without displaying the Edit Waypoint dialog, hold the Shift key while clicking Project. The waypoint will have the same type as the last waypoint you created.
