To create a waypoint using the map panning arrow:
1. With the Map Page displayed, move the panning arrow (map
pointer) to the map item you want use as a waypoint. If there
is information in the mapping database for that location it will
highlight momentarily and display a name or address.
2. Press ENTER to display the item information page. With the
Information Page displayed, highlight the “Save” button at the
bottom of the page and then press ENTER to save it to the
Find Menu Waypoints List.
If the map selected does not contain any information, a mes-
sage will appear, stating “No map information at this point. Do
you want to create a user waypoint here?”. Select “Yes” and
press ENTER to display a new waypoint page.
Another method for creating a waypoint is the Man Overboard (MOB)
feature. Typically an application for marking a location on water where
you cannot stop quickly and must return to a point where there are no
land marks for reference.
To create a waypoint using the MOB feature:
1. Press and hold the FIND key to display the MOB prompt.
2. Select “Yes” and press ENTER to display
the Map Page showing the path from your
current location to the MOB point. Use the
Compass Page for additional guidance to
the MOB point.
