2.3 Paste Hot Key Ctrl-V

You can paste items from the Windows clipboard into single cells or any entry box.

2.4 Add Waypoints Hot Key Ctrl-A

You can start this ADD WAYPOINTS dialog by one of three ways: from the EDIT menu, the hot key, or by just

clicking on the spreadsheet in the row below the last waypoint (the row with the dashes).

If Loran Features have been hidden, the screen will look like:

If you want to suppress or un-suppress loran features or change the way the form behaves, use the Set Field Preferences

button. This opens the form below for setting the way the name field behaves and allows you to hide or show most of

the fields. It also lets you skip over fields that you are not going to enter data into while typing in new waypoints. This

is a convenience that allows you to keep your hands on the keyboard and not use the mouse while minimizing

keystrokes. Along this line, the program has been designed to allow you to just type away without the need to use the

mouse except to fix mistakes. The Enter or TAB keys are used to move from one entry box to the next.

There are 14 fields you can put data into. Most are text fields and some need explanation. The Rating field is 4

characters for you to make some judgment as to how good the spot is for whatever you want do. Rating has a

secondary use and that is to indicate the start of a route or track in the case where this file is for those uses. The

Description field is 32 characters so that it will not take up too much of a page. The Name field is for use in the GPS

and can be between 6 and 16 characters set elsewhere. Icon is also for use in the GPS or your own maps and charts. The

Comments field can use up to 90 characters as that is what will fit on one line of letter size paper. It is not often

printed out or sent to a GPS, but can be. Some of the newer GPS types allow a user to group waypoints. If you have a

large number of waypoints, grouping is a good way to manage them in the GPS. There is a field for the Group name for

each waypoint. This is useful with not only waypoints, but routes and tracks too. In these cases, the Group field is used

for the route or track name.
