To restore the factory default settings,
highlight ‘Restore Defaults’ and press ENTER.
The unit also stores up to 250 user-defined
waypoints, with a selectable symbol and comment
available for each waypoint. User-defined waypoints can
be created using four methods:
Mark Present Position—
your present position can
be captured and saved as a user waypoint using the
*/MARK
key.
On Map—
a new user waypoint position can be
created directly on the map display using the cursor.
Text Entry—
user waypoints can be created by
entering position coordinates manually (from a chart,
etc.) or by referencing bearing and distance from a
previously stored waypoint (or present position).
Average Position—
position samples can be
averaged over time and the result saved as a user
waypoint. Averaging reduces the effects of selective
availability and improves the accuracy of the position
reading. (See page 76-77 for more information.)
Marking Present Position
The unit’s ‘MARK’ feature lets you quickly capture
your present position in order to create a new user
waypoint. You must be locked onto satellites, with a valid
position fix, to mark your present position.
To mark your present position:
1. Press and hold the
*/MARK
key. The New
Waypoint Page is automatically displayed.
2. A three-digit number is automatically assigned. To
change the waypoint name, highlight the waypoint
name field and press
ENTER
. Use the
ARROW
keypad to enter the new waypoint name and press
ENTER
.
3. Highlight the symbol field and press
ENTER
. Use
the
ARROW
keypad to select a new waypoint
symbol and press
ENTER
.
The
*/MARK
key allows
you to mark your
current position as a
user waypoint. You can
give this waypoint any
name you choose.
You can also choose
from a list of symbols
used to identify the
user waypoint on the
map display.
