Magellan NAV 6500/NAV 6510 21
If you have stored waypoints in memory, the number of
waypoints plotted on the map display depends on the map
zoom scale and the proximity of the waypoints to each other.
The cursor shown on the map is an arrow and can be moved
using the
CURSOR KEY .
Softkeys available on the Waypoints screen are List, Nearest,
Create, Delete and Move.
Press the ESC key to exit from the Waypoints screen and re-
turn to the root screen.
Creating a Waypoint
The receiver allows you to create waypoints in several ways:
graphically, by moving the cursor to the desired location on
the map, by saving your current position as a waypoint, by
entering coordinates manually, or by pressing the MARK key
from any screen to save either your current position or the
cursor position. You also have the choice of allowing the unit
to automatically name the waypoint, or naming it yourself.
