Reference
At the bottom of the Mark Waypoint Page there are three on-screen buttons:
Delete—deletes the waypoint.
Goto—Tells the unit that you want to navigate to that waypoint.
Map—Shows the waypoint on the Map Page.
When marking your current location, the GPS V also allows you to average position
samples over time to produce a more accurate position.
To average position samples and save the result as a waypoint:
1. With the Mark Waypoint Page displayed, press MENU.
2. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to highlight ‘Average Location’ and press ENTER.
Observe the ‘Accuracy’ and ‘Measurement Count’ fi gures.
3. When the ‘Accuracy’ and/or ‘Measurement Count’ fi gures reach the desired value(s),
highlight ‘Save’ and press ENTER. (To cancel the averaging function, highlight
‘Discard’ and press ENTER.)
4. Follow the steps on the previous page, if desired, to rename the waypoint or change
the waypoint symbol.
Waypoints can be created by referencing another location. By entering a bearing
and distance from the reference location (present position or a stored waypoint), the
GPS V “projects” the location and saves the new location as a “projected waypoint”.
To create a projected waypoint by referencing another waypoint:
1. With the Mark Waypoint Page or Waypoint Information Page (see page 27) dis-
played, press MENU.
2. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to highlight ‘Project Waypoint’ and press ENTER.
3. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD and ENTER to enter the Bearing and Distance from the
‘From’ waypoint to the new location. Select ‘OK’ each time when fi nished.
4. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to highlight ‘Create Waypoint’ and press ENTER.
Waypoints
Use the ‘Average Location’ option to create a
more accurate waypoint location.
A ‘Waypoint Note’ feature lets you add
descriptive information to the waypoint. The
GPS V will store up to 50 characters per note
for each waypoint.
