To restore the factory default settings,
highlight ‘Restore Defaults’ and press ENTER.
The unit also stores up to 250 user-defined
waypoints, with a selectable symbol and comment
available for each waypoint. User-defined waypoints can
be created using four methods:
Mark Present Position— your present position can
be captured and saved as a user waypoint using the
*/MARK key.
On Map— a new user waypoint position can be
created directly on the map display using the cursor.
Text Entry— user waypoints can be created by
entering position coordinates manually (from a chart,
etc.) or by referencing bearing and distance from a
previously stored waypoint (or present position).
Average Position— position samples can be
averaged over time and the result saved as a user
waypoint. Averaging reduces the effects of selective
availability and improves the accuracy of the position
reading. (See page 76-77 for more information.)
Marking Present Position
The unit’s ‘MARK’ feature lets you quickly capture
your present position in order to create a new user
waypoint. You must be locked onto satellites, with a valid
position fix, to mark your present position.
To mark your present position:
1. Press and hold the */MARK key. The New
Waypoint Page is automatically displayed.
2. A three-digit number is automatically assigned. To
change the waypoint name, highlight the waypoint
name field and press ENTER. Use the ARROW
keypad to enter the new waypoint name and press
ENTER.
3. Highlight the symbol field and press ENTER. Use
the ARROW keypad to select a new waypoint
symbol and press ENTER.
The */MARK key allows
you to mark your
current position as a
user waypoint. You can
give this waypoint any
name you choose.
You can also choose
from a list of symbols
used to identify the
user waypoint on the
map display.
