WAYPOINTS This GPS receiver gives you the ability to create your own database of locations, called "waypoints'. You can save your present position, cursor position, or enter a coordinate and save it as a waypoint. For example, you may wish to store the location of your parked car as a waypoint before starting on a hike. When you want to return to the car, all you have to do is recall the waypoint and the unit will show distance and bearing from your present position to the car. Waypoint Menu With few exceptions, in order to save, modify, or recall a waypoint, you'll use the waypoint menu, shown at right. The waypoint's position, distance and bearing from your present position to the waypoint, and the date and time the waypoint was saved show at the bottom of the screen. In short, all of the detail about the waypoint shows on this screen. Saving Your Present Position as a Waypoint (Quick Save Method) To save your present position, simply press the WPT key twice. Your current position is placed into the first available waypoint number on the list. A message appears on the display telling you the waypoint number it just used. Anytime this menu is showing, simply press the WPT key once and the unit will store your present position on the waypoint list. In this case, waypoint number two was assigned when the position was saved. 29 Saving The Cursor Position as a Waypoint When the cursor is showing on the map and you press the WPT key twice, the cursor's position is placed into the first available waypoint number. In the example screen shown below, the cursor is placed at the desired location. Pressing the WPT twice causes waypoint number three to be placed at the cursor's crosshairs. (Waypoint 3 was the next available waypoint number. ) A message appears on the display telling you the waypoint number it just used. Press the EXIT key to erase the cursor. MOVE CURSOR TO DESIRED LOCATION PRESS WPT KEY TWICE Saving Your Present Position as a Waypoint (Select Number Method) The method shown previously doesn't let you choose the waypoint number. You can pick the waypoint number, then save your present or cursor position. (If you're saving the cursor position, first move the cursor to the desired location, then press the WPT key. ) A screen similar to the one at right appears. Press the right or left arrow keys until the desired waypoint number appears that you wish to save your present (or cursor) location under. Finally, highlight "CURRENT POS" and press the right arrow key.
