SUPPORT CENTER

Waypoints can be entered using coordinates in ForeFlight on the web by typing the coordinates, rubber-banding a route, or right-clicking on the map. 

Typing Coordinates

Coordinates can be manually typed into the FPL editor or the Search box on the Maps view. The following formats are supported for entering latitude/longitude coordinates:

• Decimal Degrees (DD.dd)
• Degrees, Minutes, Seconds (DD°MM'SS)
• Degree Minutes (DD°MM.mm).

When entering latitude/longitude coordinates into ForeFlight on the web, use the following formatting information:

• DD represents latitude and is always limited to two numbers (00-90).
• DDD represents longitude and is three numbers (000-180) long. If the longitude value is only two numbers, a leading zero must be used for all formats except for DD.dd, which can use a leading zero or have it omitted.
• dd represents decimal degrees (decimal fraction of a degree). This value will be between 00-99 when using two-digit resolution.
• MM represents minutes. MM values must be between 00 and 59 since minutes are sexagesimal (base 60).
• mm represents decimal minutes (00-99).
• SS represents seconds. SS values must be between 00 and 59 since seconds are sexagesimal (base 60).

Here is an example that shows how the supported formats can be used to enter the following DD°MM'SS" latitude/longitude value into ForeFlight on the web:

36°00'51"N / 75°30'04”W

Coordinate Entry Using the FPL Editor

To enter coordinates using the FPL editor: 

1. Go to the Maps view.
2. Tap on the FPL button to open the FPL editor.
3. Type the coordinates into the FPL editor using a supported format.
4. Select Enter on the keyboard. The coordinates will be shown on the map.

Coordinate Entry Using the Search Box

To enter coordinates using the Search box: 

1. Go to the Maps view.
2. Click into the Search box.
3. Type the coordinates in the Search box.
4. Select Enter on the keyboard. The coordinates pop-over will be shown on the map.
5. Select Add to Route to add the coordinates to a route in the FPL editor.

Rubber-Banding the Route to a Coordinate Location

If a route exists in the FPL editor on the Maps view, the route line can be rubber-banded to a specific location. The location's coordinates will be added to the route. To rubber-band a route:

1. Create a route on the Maps view using the FPL editor.
2. Click on a portion of the route line and drag it to where a waypoint is desired. An Add to Route pop-over will appear.
3. Tap on the coordinates to add them to the existing route. 

Right-clicking a Location to add Coordinates

Coordinate for a location can be added by right-clicking on a location. To do this:

1. On the Maps view, move the cursor to the location to add.
2. Right-click on the map. An Add to Route pop-over will appear.
3. Tap on the coordinates to add them to the existing route.
