Waypoint Definition Page
The last of the three waypoint submenu pages is the
waypoint definition page. This page lets you create new
waypoints manually, or review and edit existing way-
points. To create a new waypoint manually, you’ll need to
know its position coordinates or its distance and bearing
from an existing waypoint.
To create a waypoint by entering coordinates:
1. If a waypoint is currently displayed in the name field,
highlight ‘NEW?’ and press
E
. Then press the left
arrow key to clear the name field.
2. If a waypoint is not displayed, move the cursor to the
name field and enter the new waypoint’s name.
3. Use the arrow keypad to enter your waypoint name
and to move to the next character position.
4. Press
E
to confirm the waypoint name. The posi-
tion field will now become highlighted, with the receiv-
er’s last known position shown, if one exists.
5. Press
E
to begin entry of the position.
6. Use the arrow keypad to enter your position, and to
move to each character field.
7. Press
E
to confirm and save your coordinates.
The default waypoint comment (UTC date and time of
creation) will appear, and the highlight will move to
‘DONE?’.
8. Press
E
to return to the menu page.
