Averaging a Waypoint

Averaging a waypoint location can increase the accuracy

of a waypoint at your current location by taking multiple

position readings and averaging the results.

To average a waypoint:

Select

Average Location from the options list or

the

Avg button on the Mark Waypoint page when

marking a new waypoint only. Press the

Thumb

Stick In to activate the Averaging Page. The

longer you allow averaging to run the greater the

location accuracy. Press

Save when done.

Projecting a Waypoint

Projecting a waypoint from any map item (another

waypoint, etc.) allows you to establish a new waypoint on

a bearing and distance projected from that map item.

To project a waypoint:

1. Select a map item from the Find Menu.
2. Access the

Option Menu using the on-screen

button at the top of the Information Page. Highlight

Project Waypoint and press In.

3. Highlight either the bearing or distance field, then

press the

Thumb Stick In to display the numerical

keyboard. Enter the new bearing or distance, then

highlight

OK and press In to finish.

Editing a Waypoint

A waypoint or contact can be edited to add notes or

change the map symbol, name, coordinates, or elevation.

You can also delete a waypoint or contact.

To edit a waypoint:

Use the Find Menu to display the waypoint/contact

or highlight it on the Map Page and press the

Thumb Stick In.
