Where it actually is
North up. The sponsor names these landmarks and publishes no coordinate for any of them — everything positioned here is derived, and each coordinate's provenance is listed with its point below. Dashed markers are depicted: this site's reading of the written route, not published fixes.
- 1 Depart RWY 16, centerline to 700' RWY 16 departure end South end of the single runway 16/34, at the Cedar River mouth end of the field. Runway heading 157 magnetic, 174 true. satellite Apple Maps coordinate: FAA airport record (NASR), surveyed runway threshold
- 2 Standard left downwind west of I-405 700' MSL, downwind on the west side of the freeway. satellite Apple Maps
- 3 Abeam the tower, 45 degree right turn out Renton Control Tower The stubby white 1940s tower on the west side of the field at 616 W Perimeter Rd, with RENTON MUNICIPAL AIRPORT painted across the building below the cab. Two of the six routes turn abeam it, so it is a position reference rather than scenery. satellite Apple Maps street view coordinate: OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL)
- 4 Cross I-405, direct Factoria, exiting the Class D Factoria The shopping and office district in south Bellevue where I-90 meets I-405, about 6 NM north-northeast of Renton. Big-box roofs and parking at a freeway junction. satellite Apple Maps street view coordinate: OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL)

Put it in the GPS
Route points become a route; reference points ship as waypoints only — a GPS that sequences you to a do-not-overfly marker has it backwards.
