Organizing Waypoints into Categories

You can organize your waypoints into categories, which can help

when managing and using your waypoints. For example, you can

create a “Vacation” category that stores all of the waypoints you

use for your upcoming vacation. When the vacation is over, you can

delete all the waypoints in that category by pushing a few buttons.

You can create up to 15 categories.

To create a waypoint category:

1. From any of the waypoint pages or the

Points tab, press

MENU to open the options menu.

2. Select

Edit Categories, and press ENTER.

3. Use the

ROCKER to highlight Add, and press ENTER.

4. Use the

ROCKER to enter a name for the category.

5. Highlight

Save, and press ENTER.

Now, when you create or edit a waypoint, you can select the

category from the Category list on the Waypoint Page.

To delete a category:

1. With the Waypoint Categories window open, highlight the

category to delete. Press

MENU.

2. Select

Delete Category, and press ENTER.
