Route Store Number
AutoStore TM PAGE
The AutoStore TM function allows you to capture your position at the touch of
a button so that you may easily return later. Additionally, you may record your
navigation path by inserting the captured waypoints into a route.
The AutoStore TM Page displays the AutoStore TM waypoint name, captured
position, and optional storage route. The waypoint name begins with a “+”
character followed by a 3 digit number, for example “+010”. AutoStore
TM
waypoints may be used for any waypoint operation and will be part of the 250
available waypoints.
To capture your present position...
· Press the AUTOSTO key. The AutoStore TM Page will be displayed
with the default waypoint name on line 1.
· If you wish to give the waypoint a name of your own, move the cursor
over the waypoint name and enter the name of your choice. If you
enter a waypoint name that is already used, you will be informed with
the message “WPT EXISTS _____” (where the blank will be filled in
with the waypoint name). Enter a different waypoint name if this
occurs.
· If you wish to place the waypoint in a route, enter the desired route
number. This route will be used for subsequent AutoStore
TM operations
until it is changed or when the route becomes full. If you attempt to
place the waypoint in a route that already contains nine waypoints, you
will be informed with the message “ROUTE IS FULL”. Select a
different route if this occurs.
