RSWT Question

I am currently studying for the ATPL flight planning exam and I have a quick question about the waypoints on RSWT forecasts. If you have a waypoint that is off track, how do you know where it intersects your airway? Do you assume it intersects your track when you are abeam it, or is it a lat & long thing?

Just eyeball it. If the significant points are not on your track, just assume they act to a point abeam the point given on the RSWT.

No need to be too specific - if its about half way, call it half way. If its about a third of the way, call it a third.
