3-31. Waypoint Navigation
a.
Perform the following steps to use the waypoint navigation feature by selecting a point from IPADS
database or entering coordinates for a new point.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of driving accidents, the driver's attention must at all times be
focused on safe driving. Prolonged diversion of driver's attention to the CDU
screen while driving should be avoided.
NOTE
After position is initialized, IPADS provides data to assist in navigating to an
operator-entered waypoint. Waypoint navigation is not required for IPADS to
perform survey operations.
IPADS provides two sources of navigation data after a waypoint is set.
RANGE and waypoint azimuth (WP AZ) and steering instructions (e.g.
STEER: TURN RIGHT) are available in the navigation data area on the right
side of all pages. A graphical navigation aid is available on the
NAVIGATION AID page and can be selected by pressing F5-NAV AID on
the MENU or MAP pages.
IPADS marked points can be used as waypoints to back track the survey
route.
After IPADS is initialized at a known SCP, the NAVIGATION AID can be
useful in recovering other SCPs.
Position data is in UTM format and angle format is in mils.
Latitude/longitude and decimal degrees or degrees, minutes, seconds formats
may also be used, paragraph 3-11e(3).
b.
Perform the following steps to set a waypoint and display navigation data: If a waypoint was
previously set and navigation data is displayed, press F5-NAV AID from MENU or MAP page to display
NAVIGATION AID page. Press F5-STOPNAV to stop navigation. Navigation data is no longer
displayed and F5 legend changes to F5-NAV.
CAUTION
If F5-DEL ALL is pressed, IPADS prompts PRESS Y TO DELETE
DISPLAYED POINTS; OTHER KEY TO CANCEL. Pressing Y permanently
deletes all points in displayed list.
(1) From MENU, MAP, or NAVIGATION AID page, press F3-NAV. POINT LIST page is displayed
with function key legends F2-NEW, F3-SEL PT., F4-FILTER, F5-DEL ALL, and F9-EXIT.
