Marking Waypoints
Marking Your Location as a Waypoint
It is useful to mark a location, so that you can drive to it again later. These locations are called
‘Waypoints’. The StreetPilot 2610/2650 can hold up to 500 Waypoints.
To mark your location as a Waypoint:
1. Hold down either the remote or unit PAGE key for 2 seconds and release. The ‘New Waypoint’ page
appears, with a default three-digit name for the new Waypoint in the upper-left portion of the page. The
StreetPilot 2610/2650 captures the location from the instant you release PAGE, so you do not need to
be concerned about moving around or losing satellite reception, your Waypoint is safely stored.
To rename the Waypoint, manually change the Coordinates or Elevation:
1. Select the Name, Coordinates, or Elevation fi eld.
2. Enter the new waypoint name, waypoint coordinates, or elevation (pgs 4-5) and select ‘OK’ when done.
Each waypoint may also be assigned a custom waypoint symbol for easy recognition on the Map page.
To change the Waypoint symbol:
1. Select the Waypoint symbol fi eld (immediately to the left of the waypoint name).
2. Select the most appropriate symbol and select ‘OK. The new Waypoint is now stored in memory.
When stationary, you may also average a waypoint’s position to increase it’s accuracy. If you are moving
or average the waypoint the from another location, it changes the coordinates to the updated position.
To average a waypoint location:
1. From the New Waypoint screen, press the unit or remote MENU key and select ‘Average Location’.
2. The unit shows a Measurement Count and Estimated Accuracy. Select ‘Update <waypoint> Location’.
At the bottom of the Waypoint Marked and Waypoint Review page there are three option buttons that
may be selected:
Delete
– deletes the waypoint.
Show On Map
– Shows the waypoint on the Map page.
Go To
– Tells the unit that you want to navigate to that waypoint.
A waypoint is stored in memory as soon as the ‘New
Waypoint’ page appears.
There are approximately 50 waypoint symbols to
choose from. These symbols are used to mark the
waypoint’s position on the Map page.
