could have gone looking for another place.)
NOTE:
Search works from mapping and POI data loaded in the unit. If you
have not loaded a MMC for the area you are searching you may not
find anything.
Set a Waypoint
A waypoint is simply an electronic "address," based on the latitude and
longitude of a position on the earth. A waypoint represents a location,
spot or destination that can be stored in memory, then recalled and
used later for navigation purposes.
You can create a waypoint at the cursor position on the map or at your
current position, while you are navigating. You can create a waypoint
at any location by manually entering the position's latitude and
longitude. It is also possible to copy waypoints from your unit to your
personal computer with MapCreate software. When you want to repeat
a trip, these archived waypoints can be reloaded into your GPS unit.
To create and save a Waypoint
These first two techniques use the Quick Save method, the fastest and
easiest way to create a waypoint.
