Projecting a Waypoint — This function, found on the menu associated
with the Position Screen, allows you to create a new waypoint that is a
fixed distance and bearing from your present position or from any
waypoint/POI stored in the SporTrak.
An example of waypoint projection would be if you wanted to go to a
location that is 2.0 miles and due north of your current position. You
would access the waypoint projection function and enter 2.0 as the
distance and a bearing of 0°. The Waypoint Projection Screen would
compute the coordinates of the “projected” location and then allows
you to save this waypoint into the SporTrak’s memory. From there you
could simply do a GOTO to the waypoint you just created.
You can also project waypoints from any stored waypoint or POI by
highlighting the “From” field and pressing [ENTER]. This will take
you to the SporTrak’s database, giving you complete access to choose
from any of the waypoints/POIs that you have stored.
