Saving a Your Present Position as a Waypoint with a Custom Icon and
Name
The above method is fine if you want to just save your position quickly, but
it will be difficult to figure out later which way point this is from a list of
waypoint named WPT001, WPT002, etc. For that reason, you may want to
change the default name to one of your choosing. You can also select a
different icon that will help you find the waypoint when you are using the
map screen.
To do this, press and hold
for 2 seconds just like you did before. Use
the UP/DOWN arrows and notice that the highlight moves from field to field
and then back to "Save".
Highlight the Icon field using the UP/DOWN arrows and press
.
The Icon Select window is displayed. Use the arrow
keypad to move from one icon to another with the name
of the icon displayed at the top. As a reference tool, all
of the icons and their names are listed in the Reference
Chapter of the User Manual. When you have
highlighted the icon you want to use, press
.
The cursor is now highlighting the Waypoint Name field. With the Name filed
highlighted, press
. The input keyboard is displayed. The very top of
the keyboard window shows you what field you are changing, in this case the
name field.
You can now use the arrow keypad to select the character you wish to enter.
With the character highlighted, press
and the character is appended to
the name you are entering and displayed in the field above the keys. ( Note:
way point names can be up to 8 characters in length).
