Creating Waypoints Graphically
Waypoints may also be quickly created from the map display, which allows you to ‘point and shoot’
at any map position to create a new waypoint. To mark a map item, select the desired map item with
the cursor. When selecting a map item, the option ‘Create Wpt’ will appear in addition to a description
of that point and its distance and bearing from your current position.
To create a new waypoint graphically:
1. Use the
ARROW KEYPAD
to move the cursor to the desired map position. If you want to create the
new waypoint at an on-screen map item, highlight the map item on the map display.
2. Press and release the
ENTER/MARK
key to capture the cursor position. Do not hold the button
down, as doing so will mark your present position, not the map position.
If you are not using a map item to create a waypoint, go to step 4.
3. Highlight ‘Create Wpt’ or ‘OK’ and press the
ENTER/MARK
key.
4. To accept the waypoint with the default name and symbol, press
ENTER/MARK
.
5. To change the name, symbol or add a comment or depth, highlight the appropriate fi eld and press
ENTER/MARK
.
Make your changes and press
ENTER/MARK
when done.
6. After entering and confi rming your changes, move the fi eld highlight back to the ‘OK’ prompt and
press
ENTER/MARK
.
