Pro 2.0I Main Dictionary User Dictionary Overview CompuNAV is similar to a small navigation black box that can store 194 waypoints and 24 routes, where each of the routes can have up to 18 waypoints. Two files are used concurrently since data is extracted autoB matically from one file to fill in what is required for various calculations performed within the other file. The file WAYPOINTS provides the capability to edit, find, list, and store up to 194 waypoints. Whe puNAV will be usefull to those who would like to plan either a simple sailing trip or an extended round-robin flight.

Functionality Every time CompuNAV is started, the files WAYPOINTS and ROUTES are opened simultaneously. The introduction layout is displayed first when CompuNAV is started.
