Creating/Editing Waypoints

Creating Waypoints Graphically

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. To mark a map item, select the desired map item with the
cursor. The option ‘Create Waypoint’ appears in addition to a description of that point and its distance and
bearing from your current position.

To create a new waypoint graphically:

1. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to move the cursor to the desired map position. If you want to create the new

waypoint at an on-screen map item, highlight the map item on the map display.

2. Press and release the ENTER/MARK key to capture the cursor position. Do not hold the button down, as

doing so will mark your present position, not the map position.

If you are not using a map item to create a waypoint, go to step 4.
3. Highlight ‘Create Waypoint’ or ‘OK’ and press the

ENTER/MARK key.

4. To accept the waypoint with the default name and symbol, press ENTER/MARK.
5. To change the name, symbol, coordinates, or add a comment or depth, highlight the appropriate ﬁeld and

press ENTER/MARK. Make your changes and press ENTER/MARK when done.

6. After entering and conﬁrming your changes, move the ﬁeld highlight back to the ‘OK’ prompt and press

ENTER/MARK.

Reviewing and Editing Waypoints

Once you have created and stored a waypoint, it may be modiﬁed, reviewed, renamed, moved, or

deleted at any time using the Waypoint Edit page. The Waypoint Edit page is available for any stored
waypoint by highlighting the desired waypoint from the map display, or selecting it from the waypoint lists
under the ‘Points’ tab in the Main Menu and pressing the ENTER/MARK key once.

To access the Waypoint Edit page:

1. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the desired waypoint on the map display. You may also press

MENU, highlight the ‘Points’ tab, and then highlight a waypoint from the ‘User’ or ‘Proximity’ waypoint
lists.

2. Press ENTER/MARK to display the Waypoint Edit page.
