The method you describe only appends a turnpoint to the end .

That's only 8 clicks, certainly better than adding the new and deleting the old from the list which takes around 15 clicks minimum. Typing in the name of the waypoint is *really* a poor way of doing it.


Strange how people differ. I would not contemplate using that technique which would seem far too fiddly to do in the air. For me typing the three letter description on top of the replaced turnpoint is easy and not fiddly. The same system works for replacing or adding. The screen keyboard is large - so long as you have a 5 inch screen. The ways to do it in WP and SYM are almost the same. Touching the screen near where you want to go to and touching GOTO also sounds like a very easy way to navigate somewhere, as you can do in SYM pan mode.
