Manage a Waypoint Library

What to Expect

Enroute Flight Navigation allows you to build a small library of waypoints that can be used in flight routes and shared with others. For the typical user, the library might contain a list of touristic landmarks (“Hohenzollern Castle”), or perhaps a list of emergency landing fields. The waypoints from the library are shown in the moving map.

Note

The waypoint library has been designed with small libraries in mind. If you import files containing thousands of waypoints, you might find that the moving map of Enroute Flight Navigation slows down considerably.

Add Waypoints to the Library

There are two ways to add waypoints to the library.

Select points from the moving map
Import waypoint files

Option 1: Select Points from the Moving Map

To add a waypoint from the moving map, tap-and-hold onto the moving map, so that the waypoint description dialog opens. In that dialog, click on “Library/Add…” Before saving, it is possible to assign a name and to edit the coordinates of the waypoint.

Note

To avoid data duplication, it is not possible to add airfields, navaids or reporting points to the waypoint library. If you tap-and-hold onto an airfield, you will find that the Item “Library” is disabled in the waypoint description dialog.

Option 2: Import Waypoint Files

Enroute Flight Navigation is able to import waypoints from files in CUP, GeoJSON or GPX format. Transfer the file to your device (using Bluetooth file transfer, Google Drive, sending yourself an e-mail, or any other communication channel) and open the file on your device. The Section Import Data explains the process in detail.

Our friends at streckenflug.at maintain a database of landout fields that can be downloaded here.
