The Mark (Waypoint) Page
Waypoints are the coordinates of user-selected specific geographical or man-made objects along
the route you are taking to your destination or endpoint. Geographical objects could be a lake, pond,
hill, etc., while a man-made object could be a barn, house, electric tower, etc. Each of these
objects along your way can be marked and stored in your GPS unit so that your return path is
plainly marked and can be retraced easily. The MARK page appears whenever the Mark (M) button is
momentarily pressed; this page presents the options of SAVEing the waypoint, transmitting (SEND)
the waypoint or accessing a MAP VIEW (on the map page) of the waypoint in question. If the send
option is used, your present location (coordinates) is transmitted to another GMR-GPS unit so it
knows where you are. The following display appears when the Mark (M) button is momentarily pressed:
The Mark Page
The page displays the following information:
1. Waypoint Symbols - There are 38 symbols representing common items and structures
that can be chosen to represent a waypoint on the Map and Pointer pages. These
symbols can be geographic or man-made objects.
2. Waypoint Name - Six alphanumeric characters are available to describe or represent a
waypoint; usually, just three characters are sufficient unless you wish to give the waypoint
a name (ID), followed by the number of the waypoint (001, 002, etc.).
3. Waypoint Coordinates:
a. Latitude - Latitude is a position resting North or South of the Equator. The user can
edit the displayed Latitude position.
b. Longitude - Longitude is a position resting East or West of the Prime Meridian. The
user can edit the displayed Longitude position.
NOTE: The displayed Latitude and Longitude represents the last known position. This
positional information can be saved by pressing the Mark (M) button, using the
Up/Down wheel key switch to highlight the SAVE selection, and pressing Enter.
