waypoint type/action field.
· Press MORE until “DEL?” is displayed.
· Press ENT, the waypoint is now deleted from memory. (NOTE: If you
wish to delete a waypoint that is used in a route, first remove it from all
routes before attempting to delete the waypoint. An attempt to delete
a waypoint used in a route will result in the message “ROUTE WPT”.)
A stored waypoint is used by entering its alphanumeric name on a waypoint
name field. (When a waypoint name which does not exist is entered, the error
tone will sound.) As an alternative, the GPS 55 provides a scanning feature
that allows you to select a waypoint by quickly scanning through the nearest
waypoint list, followed by the entire list of waypoints in alphabetical order
(numbers are ordered before the letters of the alphabet).
To select a waypoint by scanning...
· With the cursor under a waypoint name field, press WPT to display the
following page.
Waypoint Type
(APT, VOR, USR)
· Press MORE until the desired type (APT, VOR, or USR) appears.
Press ENT to display the nearest waypoint of the selected type.
· Use the arrow keys to scan through the entire list of waypoints.
· With the desired waypoint shown, press ENT to select the waypoint
(press CLR to cancel the scanning operation at any time).
For example, assume your unit has 15 waypoints, named A1, A2, A3, A4, A5,
N1, N2, N3, N4, N5, Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, and Z5. Among these waypoints, N1,
N2, N3, N4, and N5 are in the nearest waypoint list in that order. Waypoint
N1 will be displayed from the nearest waypoint list. Successive presses of
the right arrow key will display the other waypoints in this order: N2, N3, N4,
and N5 (from the nearest waypoint list) followed by A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, N1,
N2, N3, N4, N5, Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4 and Z5 (from the alphabetical list). Press the
ENT key when the desired waypoint is displayed.
To avoid scanning through the entire waypoint list, you may want to enter the
first few characters of the waypoint name.
