3.2 CREATING WAYPOINTS
When a waypoint identifier has been entered that does not exist in memory
the GPS 95 will assume you wish to create a new waypoint. You may create
a new waypoint using one of two methods: direct position entry (latitude/
longitude or grid system) or relative to an existing waypoint.
In order to create a waypoint by direct position entry the coordinates for the
new waypoint must be known and entered directly into the unit.
To enter the waypoint position directly...
· With the Waypoint Definition Page displayed, press the right arrow key
until the cursor is over the waypoint identifier field.
· Enter the identifier of the new waypoint using the alphanumeric and
arrow keys. Press ENT when complete. The cursor will move to the
position coordinates.
· Enter the position of the new waypoint. Press ENT after data is entered
into each field. The number of fields required for position entry will
depend on the position coordinate option selected. (See Section 8.7.)
If latitude and longitude coordinates are selected there will be four
fields if decimal degrees are used - two to define the hemispheres (“N”
or “S”, “E” or “W”) and two to enter the latitude and longitude degrees.
If latitude and longitude coordinates are selected with degrees, minutes
and decimal seconds, there will be eight data entry fields to define the
position since degrees, minutes and seconds are each divided into
their own field. If a grid system is selected it will have a different number
of fields depending on the format of the selected grid.
A new waypoint can be defined relative to another waypoint already
contained within the GPS 95's memory. When creating a new waypoint
relative to an existing waypoint, you will define a distance and bearing from
the existing waypoint to the new waypoint location.
