Marking a Position
The GPS II + allows you to mark, store, and use up to 500 positions as way-
points. Waypoints serve as electronic markers that let you keep track of starting
points, destinations, navaids, etc. A waypoint position can be entered by taking an
instant electronic fix, by manually entering coordinates (see p. 34), or by referencing
a bearing and distance to a known position (see p. 35).
To mark your present position:
1. Press MARK. The mark Position Page will appear, showing the captured position and a
default three-digit waypoint name (Fig. 29).
2. To save a default name and symbol, press ENTER to confirm the ‘SAVE?’ prompt.
