Averaging Waypoint Location
The GPS 60 can calculate an average position for a waypoint over
time to makes the waypoint location more accurate. You can also average
waypoint location at any time from the Waypoint options menu.
To average a waypoint location over time:
1. Press MARK to mark a waypoint. Highlight ‘Avg’ and press
ENTER . The Average Location Page appears. Calculation begins
automatically.
2. Wait as the GPS 60 calculates a more accurate location for the
waypoint. As you watch, notice that the number in the ‘Estimated
Accuracy’ field decreases as the GPS 60 takes more measurements.
3. Highlight ‘Save’ and press ENTER to save the waypoint.
OR
1. Press
FIND , select ‘Waypoints,’ and open an existing waypoint (see
p. 23 for more instruction).

Editing a Waypoint
You can change the waypoint name, map symbol, location coordi-
nates, or elevation, or delete an existing waypoint at any time from the
