4.2.4.3 Create a Mark Point
A Mark Point is a waypoint that is created using the Selection Box. If you have not moved the Selection
Box the Mark Point will be created at the current location of the glider. If you have moved the
Selection Box is created at the location of the cross‐hair (“+”) at the center of the Selection Box. It is
often used in flight to mark the location of a good thermal so you can find it again in the future. It can
also be used to create points before flight. However, Mark Points do not appear on the list of
waypoints used for creating tasks – so it is not possible to create a task using Mark Points.
Every time you add a new Mark Point it is saved into the current waypoint file so that it will appear the
next time you fly. Each new Mark Point is given a new name – such as ”Marked Point 1”, “Marked
Point 2”, etc. The only way to delete a Mark Point is to copy the waypoint file to a PC and edit the
waypoint file manually. There may be a way to delete a Mark Point using the ClearNav in the future.
To create a Mark Point:
Press the Focus button once or twice until the yellow box is displayed around the Selection
Box
Use the Up , Down , Left and Right buttons to put the Selection Box around the
desired turnpoint. It is OK to have multiple turnpoints in the box as you will get the opportunity
to select the desired turnpoint from a list of the turnpoints that are in the box.
Press the Select button. A list of the turnpoints in the box will be displayed.
