Edit Name
The Eagle Explorer also lets you assign a name
to each waypoint. The name can have up to eight
characters. To name a waypoint, first select the
waypoint number that you wish to name. Now
highlight the “WPT Options” label and press the
right arrow key. Finally, highlight the “EDIT NAME”
label and press the right arrow key. A screen simi-
lar to the one at right appears.
Press the up or down arrow keys to select the
first letter in the name. Press the right arrow key
to move the black box to the next position in the
name. Repeat this sequence until you’ve entered all of the letters in the
waypoint name. Press the ENT key to accept this name, the WPT key to
erase all characters in the name, or the EXIT key to leave this screen
without saving any changes.
MOVE A WAYPOINT
You can move all information from one waypoint
number to another. In this example, we’ll move
all of the information in waypoint number 10 to
waypoint number 20. To do this, highlight the way-
point options label on the waypoint screen and
press the right arrow key. Now highlight the “Move
WPT” label. Press the right arrow key. The screen
shown at right appears. The black box is resting
on the “From” label. Now press the down arrow
key once to highlight the “Number” label. Press
the left or right arrow key until the number 10
appears. Now highlight the “TO” label, as shown
below. Highlight the “Number” label, then press
the right arrow key until the desired waypoint num-
ber shows in the box. When everything on this
page is correct, press the ENT key.
Note:The names in the “From” and “To” boxes are
not the waypoint numbers - they are the waypoint
names. When a waypoint is moved from one num-
ber to another, the new waypoint number gets
the old waypoint name. For example, moving
waypoint number 2 to waypoint number 5 depos-
its the name “WPT 2” in waypoint 5’s name field.
