The first fifteen waypoints in the mission data loader are displayed at the top of the screen in the GPS
waypoint identifiers block. The waypoints are in alphabetical order by column. The desired page of the
GPS waypoint identifiers is selected with the increment/decrement arrows in the upper right of the display.
Individual GPS waypoint information is selected by locating the selector box around the desired GPS
waypoint with the selector box control arrows in the upper left corner of the display. The selected GPS
waypoint data is shown in the Selected GPS Waypoint Data Block. Using the increment/decrement arrows
on the right side of the display, select the tactical waypoint you want to overwrite; the tactical waypoint
data is shown in the Tactical Waypoint Data Block. Press the pushbutton next to XFER to copy the
waypoint data from the GPS mission data block into the Tactical Waypoint Data Block. Verification of a
successful transfer of waypoint information is accomplished by comparing the two waypoint data blocks.
