NOTE:

Search works from mapping and POI data loaded in the Global-

Map. If you do not have a high-detailed custom map (containing

POI data) for the area you are searching loaded on the MMC, you

may not find anything.

Set a Waypoint

A waypoint is simply an electronic "address," based on the latitude and

longitude of a position on the earth. A waypoint represents a location,

spot, or destination that can be stored in memory, then be recalled and

used later on for navigation purposes.
You can create a waypoint at the cursor position on the map, or at your

current position while you are navigating. You can create a waypoint at

any location by manually entering the position's latitude and longitude.

You can copy waypoints from your unit to your personal computer with

MapCreate software. When you want to repeat a trip, these archived

waypoints can be reloaded into your GPS unit.

To create and save a Waypoint
These first two techniques use the Quick Save method, the fastest and

easiest way to create a waypoint.
