Distance and speed units

any of the following units of measurement:
•

hour

statute miles, feet, and miles per hour
12- or 24-hour clock
Time of day can be displayed in either a

all of the time-related displays, including
high and low tides, sunrise/sunset, and
ETA.
Lat/lon precision
Latitude and longitude can be displayed as
either degrees, minutes, and seconds (XX°

The number of saved waypoints
When you save a waypoint by pressing the
SAVE
key, the 6000i automatically assigns
a sequential waypoint number (such as
–S001–) to each point stored. When this
number passes the number you set in the
Max saved waypt
option (the factory default
setting is 100 saved waypoints), it restarts
at the number 1, and overwrites the old
saved waypoint previously designated
number 1. For many applications, you may
want to set this maximum number to a
small value, such as five or ten, as long as
you promptly rename any saved waypoints
you want to save permanently—before
they’re overwritten.
You can enter a number up to 199 for the
maximum number of saved waypoints. For
one- or two-digit values, enter zero as the
first digit(s).
When being saved to a route, waypoints are
automatically assigned four-digit numbers;
these waypoints can be overwritten only
during a database IMPORT operation.

measure of theft protection, you can enter
