The GNC 250’s
AutoStore
TM
function
provides another method of creating user
waypoints. AutoStore is used to instantly capture your present position as a user way-
point with a touch of a button and add the new waypoint to the end of a specified
route if desired.
To perform an AutoStore:
1. Press
N
and rotate
O
to display the position page.
2. Press
E
.
This will display the ‘Save’ waypoint screen, which will allow you to rename the
waypoint and choose the route for it to be added to. The GNC 250 will assign the
next available three-digit number as the default waypoint name, preceded by a ‘+’
sign. This will help you differentiate AutoStore waypoints from other user waypoints.
To change the name or the route of an AutoStore waypoint:
1. Rotate
O
to select the name or route number field.
2. Use
K
and
O
to enter the name or route number. If you do not want to add the way-
point to a route, be sure to keep the route field blank.
3. Press
E
to accept.
4. Press
E
to confirm the ‘ok?’ prompt.
If the waypoint name is already used for another waypoint, you will be informed
with the message ‘WPT exists ______’. The default waypoint number will be redis-
played, and you may enter a different name.
