Configuring a VNAV profile:
NOTE:
Some waypoints such as intersections do not have an altitude in the
database and thus only the VNAV altitude in MSL (not Above Waypoint) may
be specified for these waypoints.
1)
From the Main Menu, touch Tools > VNAV.
2)
From the 3D Vision page, select Menu > VNAV.
3)
Touch the desired fields ('Waypoint', 'Profile', 'Altitude', etc.) to enter
the VNAV profile.
4)
Touch and hold the Back Icon to return to the Main Menu.

Waypoint’ to use field elevation for airports in the navigation database or
‘MSL’ to specify an exact MSL altitude target.

reference waypoint. To set a target location at a reference waypoint, enter a
