Selecting Waypoints Nearest to the Cursor. As discussed in the Map
Screen section, the Map Screen has two modes of operation, position
and cursor. If you are in the cursor mode you may want to know what
waypoints are near your cursor rather than the ones nearest to your
present position. You can do this by selecting the “Find By” option of
Near Cursor. You are then presented with a list of waypoints that are
close to the cursor for the category you selected.
After the list is presented, you can use the Up/Down arrows to highlight
a waypoint, and press ENTER to view information on it. When
highlighting a waypoint, the bearing and distance from the cursor to the
waypoint is displayed at the bottom of the list.
Note: The “Find By” option Near Cursor is only available when the
Map screen is in the Cursor Mode.
Saving Present Position as a Waypoint — Creates and stores your present
position into the memory of the Meridian. Stored waypoints can be
used in GOTO and route creation. While saving the waypoint, you can
edit the icon, name and add a message or you can just save the waypoint
using the default name supplied by the Meridian.
