Average Location —

When selected, the Average Waypoint page will be displayed. The

page has ﬁ elds for Location, Estimated Accuracy, Elevation and Measurement Count.
While averating, the unit will take a location reading approximatly once a second. The
readings are averaged and the estimated accuracy of the location is displayed. When
the Estimated Accuracy has stabilized, press ENTER to return to the Mark Waypoint
page where you can continue editing or save the waypoint.

Project Location —

Selecting ‘Project Location’ allows you to change the location of the

waypoint, to a location that is a set bearing and distance from a speciﬁ ed point. The
Project Location page has four ﬁ elds, ‘Location’, ‘From’, ‘Distance’ and ‘Bearing’. There
are three ways to establish a “From” reference point, you can use the current location,
select a location on the map or use the location of an item found in the points menu.
To select one of these options, highlight the ‘From’ ﬁ eld and press the ENTER key.
