Creating Waypoints Graphically

You create waypoints graphically from the Map Page. To mark

a map location or map item, select the location or item with the

pointer, and press ENTER. When selecting a location or map

item, a description of the point, its distance and bearing from your

current location, and the latitude/longitude of the pointer is shown

along the top of the map.

To create a new waypoint graphically:

1. Use the

ROCKER to move the pointer to a map location. If

you want to create the new waypoint at an on-screen map

item, highlight the map item on the screen.

2. Press and release

ENTER/MARK to capture the pointer

location. Do not hold the button down, doing so marks your

present location, not the map location.

If you are not using a map item to create a waypoint, go to

step 4.

3. Highlight

Create Wpt or OK, and press ENTER/MARK.

4. To accept the waypoint with the default name and symbol,

press

ENTER/MARK.

5. To change the name, symbol, or add a comment or depth,

highlight the appropriate field, and press

ENTER/MARK.

Make your changes, and press

ENTER/MARK when

finished.

6. Move the highlight back to

OK, and press ENTER/MARK to

confirm the changes.
