Garmin GPS 150 - Manual (Page 46)

User waypoints may also be created using AutoStore™. This will save your
current position as a user waypoint and can instantly be added to any route.
To AutoStore your current position as a waypoint:
1. Press
N
and rotate
O
until the Position page is displayed. Press
E
.
This will display the AutoStore page which will allow you to rename the waypoint
if you would like and also to choose the route to which it will be added.
To change the waypoint name or the route of an AutoStore waypoint:
1. Rotate
O
until the name field or the route number field is highlighted.
2. Enter the new name or route number by using
K
to change the character and
O
to
advance the cursor. Press
E
to accept.
If the waypoint name is already used, you will be informed with the message
‘WPT exists ____’. The default waypoint number will be redisplayed. The waypoint
will be added to the end of the route you select, or none, if the field is left blank. If
the route you choose already contains 31 waypoints, you will be informed with a
‘Route is full’ message. If this occurs, select another route to add waypoints.
User Comments on Waypoints
All of the waypoint types contain pages for the user to enter up to two lines of
comments for later reference. You may add comments on up to 250 waypoints,
which are saved even when the unit is off.
To enter user comments from any of the waypoint pages:
1. Rotate
O
while the cursor is not flashing until the ‘Comments’ page is displayed.
2. Press
C
and rotate
O
to highlight the comment you would like to edit, or the blank
field to enter a new one.
