Using the Cursor to Mark and GOTO Waypoints

During panning, the crosshair represents a target posi-

tion right on the moving map, with the range and bearing
to the target displayed at the top corners of the screen. You
can also use the target crosshair to mark a new waypoint
position or as a GOTO destination right from the map field.

To mark the target crosshair position as a new
waypoint:

1. Press the

key to capture the position.

2. Enter a new name and route number if you wish.

3. Press the

key to save the waypoint and return to the

map page.

You can also use the target crosshair as an instant

GOTO destination. Similar to the MOB mode, this function
will mark and instantly set a course for a new waypoint
called ‘MAP’.

To go to the target crosshair:

1. Press the

key to capture the position.

2. Press the

key to confirm the MAP GOTO.

If you want to save the MAP waypoint, be sure to

rename it, as it will be overwritten the next time a map
GOTO is executed.

Marking a Waypoint

To mark a new waypoint
with the crosshair, simply
pan to the desired position
and press the MARK key.

MAPGOTO

The crosshair may also be
used to define a GOTO des-
tination by panning to the
desired position and press-
ing the GOTOkey. If you
want to save the MAP way-
point, be sure to rename it.
