In Jepps' FlightStar, you can easily add user waypoints to your route
that will show up on the NavLog. Additionally the software
automatically calculates TOC (top of climb) and BOD (begin of descent)
waypoints and automatically includes those waypoints in the NavLog.


I found it interesting that none of the software I have selected so far
is more specific on a PA-28 than to be a "generic" pa-28. I fly the
Cherokee 140, which does have a different performance than a Cherokee
180.

The profiles included in FlightStar normally are considered starting
points and/or generic aircraft. You can either find a profile more
specific to your aircraft from someone else who has already customized
the profile or you can do it yourself using the POH, your experience,
or both.
