Marking Your Location as a Waypoint
The GPS V allows you to capture your current location and save it as a “waypoint”.
Use this feature to mark locations you may wish to return to in the future (e.g., parked
car location, trailhead or fi shing spot). The GPS V can hold up to 500 Waypoints.
To mark your location as a Waypoint:
1. Press and hold ENTER. The ‘Mark Waypoint’ page appears, with a default three
digit name for the new waypoint at the top portion of the page. The GPS V captures
the location from the instant at which you pressed ENTER, so you do not need
to be concerned about moving, losing satellite reception or any delay while you
change the name or waypoint symbol.
2. You may wish to rename the waypoint or change the symbol, as described below.
Once you’ve made these changes, select the ‘OK’ button to permanently save the
new waypoint in memory.
To rename the Waypoint:
1. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to select the name fi eld (top line) and press ENTER.
2. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD and ENTER to enter the new waypoint name, then
select ‘OK’ and press ENTER to save the new name.
Each waypoint may also be assigned a custom waypoint symbol for easy recogni-
tion on the Map Page.
To change the Waypoint symbol:
1. Highlight the Personal Waypoint symbol (immediately to the left of the waypoint
name) and press ENTER. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to select the desired symbol.
2. Press ENTER when you fi nd the most appropriate symbol. The new waypoint is now
stored in memory.
