Waypoints used in navigation are read from waypoint files, can be created in XCTrack (from the map or by creating a new one manually) or can be imported from a task\/route (from a QR code or a file).<\/p>\n

To activate an imported waypoint file, go to the Files tab.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Places<\/strong><\/p>\n

AIR\u00b3 is provided with waypoints of cities of 5000 inhabitants or more for all countries. Activate the one corresponding to your country if you want to quickly navigate to one of these.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, you can enable “cities” (and\/or “takeoffs”) in the Places section of the files tab. This will actually list larger cities only.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Sort waypoints in list by<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can sort the waypoints listed by name or by distance.<\/p>\n

Sorting by distance is convenient while flying, so that you quickly get the waypoints around you.<\/p>\n

Sorting by name is convenient when you have a long list of waypoints to find the one you are looking for, sorted alphabetically.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
