The GPS 12’s advanced
waypoint planning fea-
tures allow you to create
new waypoints and prac-
tice navigation without
ever setting foot outside.
If you create a new way-
point by entering coordi-
nates from a map, you
may want to re-mark the
waypoint’s exact position
once you get there.
To re-define an existing
waypoint’s position coor-
dinates from the waypoint
definition page, simply
highlight the DST field
and press ENTER. Use the
LEFT arrow key to set the
distance to 0.00, and press
ENTER to confirm.
The old coordinates will be
replaced by the coord i-
nates of your present posi-
t i o n(you must have a
valid 2D or 3D position
fix and the reference way-
point name field must be
blank).
