Marking and Saving Waypoints

The GPS II allows you to mark, store, and use up to 250 positions as waypoints.

Waypoints serve as electronic markers that let you keep track of starting points, des-
tinations, navaids, etc. A waypoint position can be entered by taking an instant elec-
tronic fix, by manually entering a coordinate, or by referencing a bearing and dis-
tance to an existing waypoint.

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. Press ENTER.

If you try to mark a waypoint
without having a position fix,
you’ll be notified with a ‘No
Position’ message.
