Im a GNC300XL (certified) owner. Adding a waypoint in the DB is no
problem. Adding one not in the DB in no problem. Adding it to a 300XL
style plan is no problem. Never had or flown with an ADF so my opinion is
only half informed but I have no idea why I would want one other than as an
altitude bug.
