Creating Waypoints Graphically

You create waypoints graphically from the map display. To mark

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

pointer, and press ENTER/MARK. 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

displayed 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 display.

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.

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

press

ENTER.

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

highlight the appropriate field, and press

ENTER. Make

your changes and press

ENTER when finished.

6. Move the highlight back to

OK, and press ENTER to confirm

the changes.
