Creating a Waypoint by Entering Coordinates
You can manually enter location coordinates to create a waypoint.
This method is useful for creating a waypoint at a specific latitude/
longitude location from a chart. You can manually change the
location coordinates in the New Waypoint Page to create a new
waypoint or use the Create Waypoint selection in the User Points
tab options menu.
To create a new waypoint by entering location
coordinates:
1. Press and hold ENTER/MARK to create a waypoint (or use
your favorite method discussed in previous sections). The
new waypoint is created with the next available waypoint
number and the receiver’s last known location as the default
location.
To change the location of a waypoint, highlight the
character you want to change in the Location field.
Press up or down on the ROCKER to change the
character. Repeat until the new location is entered.
2. On the New Waypoint Page, use the ROCKER to highlight the
Location field, and press ENTER. Use the ROCKER to enter
the location coordinates, and press ENTER when finished.
3. To change any of the other information, highlight the
appropriate field, and press ENTER. Use the ROCKER to
enter the new information.
4. After entering your changes, highlight OK, and press ENTER.
