Abstract
Method and apparatus are provided for assembling a flight plan. The apparatus has a memory configured to store data associated with waypoints that can be used in the flight plan and a processor that is configured to access the memory and retrieve the data associated with a first waypoint and data associated with a second waypoint. The first waypoint corresponding to a first leg of the flight plan and the second waypoint corresponding to a second leg of the flight plan. In addition, the apparatus has a display that is configured to produce a visual representation of the flight plan with a single waypoint designation at a single location for the first waypoint and the second waypoint using the data retrieved by the processor. The display is also configured to produce a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the single waypoint designation at the single location with a first leg identifier for the first leg and a second leg identifier other than first leg identifier for the second leg.
