The possibility of add user waypoints with Latitude and Longitude directly in G1000, G3000, etc.
In real G1000, for example, there is a menu on MFD (new WPT) from which you can add points to your existing plan using LAT/LON, RAD/DIS or RAD/RAD, and possibility of keep stored this user waypoints.
Attach a link of garmin G1000 tutorial . In minute 2:46 explains how to create user waypoints.
Thank you for the great job!
G1000 already supports this.
you need to enter Cursor Mode and move the mouse pointer using the hursor knob to a point on the G1000 map, then hit the Menu button to create a waypoint there.
however - Relative and offset style waypoints don’t seem to be a thing.
dynamic style waypoints do exist though: EG: aalt target waypoints will shift automatically if you havent reached a specific altitude and thus repredict when your next turn will be after this.
I don’t think ingame G1000 has the ability to store user locations persistently.
I undestood that @Epsilon9129 intended to request the implementation of creating a waypoint given coordinates.
Assume you desire to add a series of VRP to enter in a CTR where the procedure is different (ie VSO) from the published VFR procedures.
Become important to define user waypoints not just by trying to pinpoint the location with a cursor but filing the coordinates.
Nice to have the existing feature but still an update to integrate all the basic features of the G1000 NXi would be a nice step forward.
Just tried to figure out how to create a User Waypoint in Cessna 172S G1000.
According to the G1000 Pilot’s Guide the G1000 can store up to 1000 User Waypoints.
Via the Meny softkey only the Map Settings and Declutter options are available.
Via the cursur mode I was also unable to create one.
The use case for this is that I would like to start with Career mode at some point, but do not like having to fly through the blue brackets in the sky. My idea was to create a User Waypoint and then fly a DME arc to stay within the required distance from that Waypoint.
Hope the User Waypoint creation option will be added at some point .
Maybe I could do this through the EFB or Flightplan website as a workaround. That is my next step of investigation, but wanted to support this request.
Edit: I was able to plan the VFR flight that includes the desired User Waypoint. Then I saved the flight and opened it in the EFB. From the EFB I then sent it to Avionics. In G1000 the Userpoint showed. When selecting the Userpoint in the flightplan I selected the Menu soft key. Now it did show the Create New User Waypoint, but it was greyed out.
