Create a point from a bearing and a distance
Sometimes you know where something is relative to something else: 340 degrees true, 1.2 miles from the gate. Projection turns that into a point on the map.
Steps
-
Open projection
Map tab → the tool column → Project From Here…, or from any existing waypoint. -
Choose the origin
Your current fix, another waypoint, or whatever the map is centred on. -
Enter bearing and distance
True bearing in degrees and the distance in your chosen units. -
Save the result
The projected point saves as a normal waypoint you can navigate to, share or export.
Worth knowing
- Bearings are true, not magnetic. Convert first if you are reading from a compass.
