Never use this product while operating a vehicle. CAUTION When showing navigation data to a position (waypoint), this unit will show the shortest, most direct path to the waypoint. [. . . ] 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. 27 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. The unit returns to the waypoint screen with the position saved under the selected waypoint number. Note: you can save the position on any waypoint number, even if a position is already stored on the desired number. 28 Saving a New Position To save a position other than the cursor's or the present position as a waypoint, first select the waypoint number as described on the previous page. Using the arrow keys, enter the latitude and longitude of the position that you want to save. (Note: latitude and longitude is the default, however if UTM or other position format is in use, this screen will let you enter the position in the format that's currently in use. ) Waypoint Averaging Although electronic position finding devices such as this one show the position in precise digital numbers, there is some ambiguity in the displayed position. With position pinning turned off, you can see this by watching the position displayed on the unit move while you're standing still. This is due to many factors; SA, atmospheric conditions, the number of satellites being tracked and their location relative to your position, and so on. However, even with SA turned on, this GPS receiver can show surprisingly accurate position information. If you wish to increase the accuracy of a saved position, use the waypoint averaging method. This method requires the unit to remain untouched at the location that you want to save, preferably for at least one hour. The unit averages all of the positions reported by its GPS receiver, resulting in typically higher position accuracy. To use this feature, first press the WPT key and select a waypoint number, then select "CREATE WPT".
