Personal Waypoints

A Personal Waypoint is a specific latitude/longitude that you can name for later reuse. It can be displayed on the map and used in flight plans. Personal Waypoints are automatically synchronized between all your iPads and iPhones running FlyQ EFB.

You can create and name Personal Waypoints in several different ways:

 On the map, double-tap anywhere and hit the +WPT button next to the latitude/longitude entry.  In the Search Box , type a latitude/longitude, navaid or fix with a radial and distance, or intersection of two navaids then hit the +WPT button. See Entering Latitude/Longitude Points elsewhere for data entry format.  In Settings , select Personal Waypoints to create, edit, or delete Personal Waypoints.  Tap the Position gauge on the Gauge Bar on the map to add a new Personal Waypoint at the current location. A Personal Waypoint has a short Ident with no spaces and an optional Name that may include spaces. The Ident , like a navaid ident, is used when entering a flight plan in the Search Box using a Personal Waypoint. The Name may not be used for planning a flight and is generally used for clarification when displayed on a map. Tip: To see a new Personal Waypoint on the map, be sure to turn the Personal Wpts map layer on. The Personal Wpts layer is not automatically turned on when a Personal Waypoint is created.

The Ident of a Personal Waypoint can be used to create flight plans via the Search Box at the top of the app.

Personal Waypoints may be displayed with their Idents (and Names , if they have them) or simply as flag markers. The flag markers are ideal when there are many Personal Waypoints in very close proximity to each other. Control the display format by changing Always show obstacle detection area in Settings .

Go to Settings , Personal Waypoints to create, edit, and delete Personal Waypoints.
