This section explains some of the more common
operations you can perform with your Receiver
including creating and using waypoints, using the
Find Menu, and how to create and use tracks and
routes.
Creating and Using Waypoints
Waypoints are locations or landmarks you record and
store in your GPS. They are locations you might want
to return to later. You can add waypoints to routes and
even create a Go To directly to the selected waypoint.
Waypoints can be created using three methods. You
can press the
MARK
key while at a location, create a
waypoint on the Map Page, or enter coordinates for a
waypoint manually.
Marking Your Current Location
Use the
MARK
key to quickly capture your current
location to create a new waypoint. You must have a
valid position (2D or 3D) fix to mark your current
location.
Creating Waypoints Using the Map
You can quickly create a waypoint using the Map
Page. When you pan the map and move the arrow
over a map item, you see a highlighted description of
the item.
Creating a Waypoint Using Coordinates
You can manually enter location coordinates to create
a waypoint. This method is useful for creating a
waypoint at a specific latitude/longitude position from
a chart.
Editing Waypoints
You can edit waypoints when created or at a later
date. You can change the symbol, name, note,
location, elevation, and depth.
Deleting Waypoints
You can delete waypoints from the Waypoint Page.
Averaging the Waypoint’s Location
You can average a new waypoint location over time to
produce a more accurate location.
