The last of the three waypoint management
pages is the waypoint definition page. This page
lets you create new waypoints manually, as well as
review and edit existing waypoints.
To create a new waypoint manually, you’ll need
to know its position coordinates or its distance and
bearing from an existing waypoint. If you know
the position coordinates for your new waypoint:
1. Press the
D
key to highlight the name field.
2. Press
E
to begin entry of the waypoint name.
3. Use the
U
and
D
keys to enter your waypoint
name, using the
L
and
R
keys to move to the
next character position.
4. Press
E
to confirm the waypoint name. The
position field will now become highlighted, with
the receiver’s last known position shown.
5. Press
E
to begin entry of the position.
6. Use the
U
and
D
keys to enter your position,
using the
L
and
R
keys to move to each
character field.
7. Press the
E
key to confirm and save your
coordinates. The default waypoint comment
(UTC date and time of creation) will appear and
the highlight will move to the ‘done field.
