Cobra Electronics GPS 100 - Manual (Page 11)

Nav Data Page Ẅ
The Nav Data page gives you access to the powerful navigational features of
your GPS 100. From this page, you can create and store up to 500 waypoints.
For each one, you can choose a name and assign a symbol. Using the
navigational features, you can ask the unit to show you the “GoTo” direction
of travel to reach a selected waypoint.
You can also create and store up to 10 tracks. Your GPS 100 automatically
keeps a record of your progress as you travel and gives you a graphic
representation of the track you have taken. You can have the unit guide you
in the reverse direction along the same track.
You can select two or more waypoints to create a route. Your GPS 100 will
then show you the way to follow the route accurately.
ẅ Whenever navigation is in progress, a hiker icon will appear in the lower
right hand corner of the Map Page and Gauges Page
Ẇ ẇ.
Waypoints
When you select WAYPOINTS from the Nav Data page, (see Ẅ), your
GPS 100 will display a list of the waypoints currently stored. You can create,
save and recall up to 500 waypoints. If you want to change the location for a
waypoint, its location coordinates can be edited. You can ask the unit to
show you the “GoTo” direction of travel to reach any waypoint you select.
NOTE: You can store up to 50 waypoints into a route.
NOTE: You can record your current location as a waypoint at any time
simply by pressing the ENTER button for 2 seconds, or by following the
procedure described on page 16, under “New Option.”
Selecting Options Ẅ
From the Nav Data Page, highlight using the ZOOM IN/OUT button and
select WAYPOINTS by pressing the ENTER button. Use the ZOOM IN/OUT
button to scroll through the menu sections, then press the ENTER button to
go to the highlighted option. Use the ZOOM IN/OUT button again to highlight
your choice, then press the ENTER button to select it. Press the PAGE button
to return to the main page.
