Waypoints
A waypoint is a marker, shown on the map, to a location
you would like to come back to another time. This
waypoint could be a POI, intersection or a favorite fishing
spot. Up to 500 waypoints can be stored in the Galileo
™ .
Waypoints can also be grouped/recalled by name, i.e.,
FISH1 or CAMP2. Up to eight characters can be used for
a name. The Galileo
™ groups waypoints by the first
character in the name. If that character is blank then it
groups by the next character i.e., “_FISH_ _ _” will be
grouped different than “FISH_ _ _ _” or “_ _ _ _ FISH” or
even “_ _FISH_ _”.
