Creating Waypoints Graphically
You create waypoints graphically from the Map Page. To mark
a map location or map item, select the location or item with the
map pointer, and press ENTER. When selecting a location or map
item, a description of the point, its distance and bearing from your
current location, and the latitude/longitude of the map pointer is
shown along the top of the map.
To create a new waypoint graphically:
1. Use the ROCKER to move the map pointer to a map
location. If you want to create the new waypoint at an
on-screen map item, highlight the map item on the screen.
2. Press and release ENTER/MARK to capture the map
pointer location. Do not hold the button down, doing so
marks your present location, not the map location.
If you are not using a map item to create a waypoint, go to
step 4.
3. Highlight Create Wpt, and press ENTER/MARK.
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 field, and press ENTER/MARK.
Make your changes, and press ENTER/MARK when
finished.
6. Highlight OK, and press ENTER/MARK to confirm the
changes.
