4. MENU SCREEN

This is where you can edit or delete the stored data.
The options are as follows:

MARK

Use  to  mark  a  waypoint. You’ll  probably  use  this
when you want to mark a point you want to go to -
if you’re already there its much easier just to press
and hold down the ENTER button.

Screen  showing list  of  stored
waypoints 

If  you  select  a
waypoint 

from

the  list  you  get
this 

screen

where  you  can
see details of the
waypoint 

and

edit it.

WAYPOINTS

Here you will find all the stored waypoints listed in
alphabetical order. This  unit  will  store  up  to  500
waypoints. Here you  can  view  or  delete them,  or
edit their name, position or symbol. To  put  in  the
position of a waypoint that you’ve determined from
a map or chart, use the UP/DOWN buttons to high-
light the position shown at the bottom of the screen
and press ENTER to change it (this sort of thing is
much easier to do on a computer). Note that while
it does show altitude this is not always accurate -
there is no altimeter built into this model.
