You can also create a new waypoint by “projecting” the distance and
bearing from a specific location to a new location.

previous sections). The new waypoint is created with the next
available waypoint number and the receiver’s last known location
as the default location.
2. Press MENU twice to open the Main Menu.
3. Highlight Points from the vertical list of tabs using the ROCKER.
4. Press MENU to open the New Waypoint Page options menu.
5. Highlight Project Location, and press ENTER.
Project Location Menu
Enter the distance, bearing, and location to project from.
6. To change the location from which you are projecting the new
waypoint, highlight the From field, and press ENTER. The Find
Menu opens.
Select the point from which you project your new waypoint just
as you would select a waypoint or point of interest. For more
information see the “Finding an Item” section beginning on page
54 .
7. To adjust the distance that the new waypoint is projected beyond
the original waypoint, highlight the Distance field and press
ENTER. Enter the projection distance and press ENTER.
To adjust the bearing that the new waypoint is projected from the
original waypoint, highlight the Bearing field and press ENTER.
Enter the bearing, and press ENTER.
8. When you have adjusted all elements of the projected location,
highlight Save, and press ENTER.
9. Make any other changes to the new waypoint data (such as the
name or symbol), highlight OK, and press ENTER.
