I would like to set up the GPS so that the aircraft will fly to GPS coordinates. Is it possible to input the GPS coordinates manually into the 530?

Thanks for any suggestions.

This is an update to my previous post. In case others have the same question, I have figured out how to get your own GPS coordinates into the Reality 530. First of all, you need to set up your system so that flight plans can be saved. The manual tells you how to do this. The GPS will start with your current airport location. You then need to input a waypoint that does not exist. The GPS will ask if you want to create this waypoint. Say yes to this. The saved waypoint will show the GPS coordinates of your current location, ie; your starting airport. Then save the flight plan.

Now go the folder set up earlier where flight plans are saved. Open the flight plan with Notepad and change the GPS coordinates to the desired coordinates. You will need to convert the coordinates from minutes, seconds etc. to a decimal number. A quick google search will bring up a website that will do this for you. Now save the edited flight plan in notepad, and the GPS will allow you to import this edited flight plan showing the desired GPS coordinates as a waypoint.

Takes a few minutes, but it worked for me.
