The Waypoints Page
Symbols
The waypoint symbols available on the PN-Series GPS are
the same as the PN-Series symbol set in your DeLorme
mapping application. This symbol set includes geocaching
symbols (these are at the end of the symbol list). To ensure
your waypoint displays on the Waypoints Page, make sure
you select a waypoint symbol. If you use a geocaching
symbol, the waypoint will be saved on the Geocaches
Page. To see the geocaching symbols, go to page 41. For a
complete list of symbols, see the DeLorme PN-Series Wiki
(http://wiki.delorme.com).
When you mark a waypoint with the
Mark
button, the
default waypoint symbol is a red map pin and the label
is "Wpt 001." When you change the symbol or label, each
new waypoint uses that format until you change either the
symbol or the name. When you add multiple waypoints
with the same name, a sequential number is added to the
name. For example, if you keep the default name of Wpt
001, the next waypoint you add is Wpt 002, and so on.
When you mark a waypoint from a details page, such as
a Find search result or a map object, the device uses the
default information available for the symbol and name. If
no information is available, the red pushpin is the default
symbol.
Add Waypoints
Mark
Use the
Mark
button
on the PN-Series GPS to mark a
waypoint at your current GPS location or at the map cursor
if you are viewing another location on the map. When you
press
Mark
, a waypoint details page opens. When the
waypoint is marked at the map cursor location, the eleva-
tion is not available. You can edit the details or average the
waypoint location before you save it.
You can also mark waypoints from Find search result
details and route point details pages.
