To create a waypoint with the map panning arrow:
1. On the Map Page, press the ROCKER key to activate and move
the map panning arrow to the place where you want to save a
waypoint.
2. Press ENTER to mark a waypoint. If there is no map information
at that point, a message appears: ‘Do you want to create a
user waypoint here?’ Highlight ‘Yes’ and press
ENTER again.
The Waypoint Information Page appears. Change the name and
waypoint symbol if you wish. Then select ‘Map’ to view the waypoint
on the map, or select ‘Go To’ to navigate to the waypoint.
Creating a Man Overboard Waypoint
A Man Overboard (MOB) waypoint is a special type of waypoint
typically used when navigating on water. MOB waypoints are especially
useful if you cannot stop quickly, and you want to return to a point with
no landmarks for reference. When you mark a MOB waypoint, the GPS
60 saves your current location and automatically creates a route back to
that point.
To create a MOB waypoint:
1. Press and hold the FIND key to display the MOB prompt.
2. Select ‘Yes’ and press
ENTER . The Map Page appears, showing a
path from your current location to the MOB point. Use the path to
navigate to the MOB point.
