10.0 CREATING USER WAYPOINTS
Up to 1000 (250 for ORS 01 units) user-defined waypoints may be cre-
ated. These waypoints must contain an identifier, latitude, and longitude.
This manual describes the most common methods of creating user-
defined waypoints.
Regardless of which of the three methods described below is utilized for
creating a user-defined waypoint, it is first necessary to enter a unique
identifier for the waypoint. The identifier can be one to five characters in
length. To select the identifier:
• Use the right outer knob to select the supplemental (SUP) type way-
points.
• Press the right C to turn on the right cursor function. The cursor will
appear over the first character position of the identifier.
• Use the right inner knob to select the first character of the identifier.
• Turn the right outer knob one step clockwise to position the cursor over
the second character, and then use the right inner knob to select the
desired character.
• Use the right outer and inner knobs as described above to finish
selecting the identifier. The following text should now be displayed:
CREATE NEW
WPT AT:
USER POS?
PRES POS?
NOTE: If a waypoint page containing a latitude and longitude is displayed
instead of the above text, the identifier entered already exists in the user
database. Another identifier must be chosen.
10.1 Creating A Waypoint At The Present Position
Creating a user waypoint at the present position can be done by pressing
the
S button. When the S button is pressed the SAVE page appears
on the right with the present position displayed. The cursor is over the
WPT Ident. This field is automatically filled with the first unused WPT from
the list USR01 - USR99 and US100 - US999. (Note that only a total of
1000 user waypoints are allowed, 250 for ORS 01 units.) The WPT name
can be changed to a name that is more meaningful. If a unique name has
been entered and the
F button is pressed prior to pressing the E
button, the USxxx wpt name will reappear. If the E button is pressed
and a unique SUP ident is entered, the SUP page will display with no
cursor. If an ident is entered which is not a unique SUP ident, then the
