and then delete it. If you attempt to delete a waypoint
that’s part of a route, you’ll be given a “Route Waypoint
Can’t be Deleted” message.
Scanning Waypoints
As you manually enter a waypoint’s name, the GPS
48’s waypoint scanning feature will automatically dis-
play the first numerical or alphabetical match of the
character you have entered to that point. This helps
eliminate the need to always enter a waypoint’s com-
plete name.
To scan waypoints from a waypoint field:
1. Highlight the waypoint name field, and press
E
.
2. Press the left side of the keypad to clear the name
field.
3. Scroll through the waypoints.
Note: The GPS 48’s waypoint scanning feature will
offer the first waypoint that matches the character or
characters you have entered up to that point. If you
have more than one waypoint that begins with the
same letter or number, move to the next character posi-
tion as needed.
4. When you find the desired waypoint, press
E
.
