38. Edit Flight Plan Position

This dialog allows to edit an user defined flight plan position that was added with Add Position to Flight Plan Add Position to Flight Plan or Append Position to Flight Plan Append Position to Flight Plan.

The information entered here is saved with the flight plan.

Note that all fields are saved without limitations only when using the Little Navmap LNMPLN format (Little Navmap LNMPLN Format). Other flight plan export formats will only save the ident truncated or a coordinate.

Note

Keep in mind that all information entered here is lost if the flight plan position is removed or a new flight plan is calculated ( Flight Plan Calculation).

Note

Waypoints using the default format WP plus number (e.g. WP1 or WP99) are automatically renumbered by Little Navmap to reflect the flying order in the flight plan.

Changing the name will disable the renumbering for a waypoint.
