Creating Waypoints On Map
Waypoints may also be quickly created from the map display, which allows you
to “point and shoot” at any map position to create a new waypoint.

1. Use the R keypad to move the cursor to the desired map position. If you want to create
the new waypoint at an on-screen navaid, highlight the navaid on the map display.
2. Press T .
3. To accept the waypoint with the default name, symbol and comment, press T . If you
are creating a waypoint at an on-screen navaid, the default symbol and comment will
automatically reflect the selected navaid’s name and symbol.
4. To change the name, symbol or comment, highlight the appropriate field and press T .
5. After entering and confirming your changes, move the field highlight back to the ‘Done?’
prompt and press T .
Creating Waypoints By Text Entry
Waypoints may also be created by manually entering a position’s coordinates or
referencing a stored waypoint through the ‘Create Waypoint’ submenu option on
the Main Menu Page.
To create a new waypoint by manually entering its coordinates:
1. Press O twice to display the Main Menu Page.
2. Highlight the ‘Create Waypoint’ option and press T . The waypoint definition page will
appear, with the next available waypoint number and the receiver’s last known position
as the default name and position.
3. Use the R keypad to enter the new waypoint name, icon, position, and comment. Press
T after the last character in each section.
4. When you have finished entering all your waypoint data, use the R keypad to highlight
the ‘Done’ prompt and press T .
