NAV Mode directs the flight along a route of waypoints, which can be created, saved and loaded in Route Manager. Waypoints can contain altitude instructions as well as lateral fix information. NAV Mode functions are controlled through the NAV subsystem softkeys. When a route is active in Route Manager, next waypoint information (Waypoint ID, bearing, rang and time-to-target) is displayed in the lower left section of the HUD.
