SETUP ROUTE NAVIGATION USING THE ENHANCED PLGR (EPLGR) MISSION PLANNING
SOFTWARE (MPS)
PLANNING A ROUTE
NOTE
A route is a set of related points defining a path, or way to navigate. In the EPLGR MPS,
waypoints can be linked together to form a navigation route. Any two consecutive
waypoints in a route make up a leg. When navigating a route, start with leg 1 and proceed
from leg to leg until the end waypoints are reached.
Up to 15 navigation routes may be defined, with each route having 2 to 26 waypoints
(1 to 25 legs). The EPLGR MPS allows the user to pick waypoints with different
datums, but gives a warning when selected. For best results, all waypoints in a
route must use the same datum.
