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 III can hold up to 500 Waypoints.
To mark your location as a Waypoint:
1. Press and hold ENTER. The ‘Waypoint Marked’ page appears, with a default three-digit name for the
new Waypoint in the upper-left portion of the page. The StreetPilot III captures the location from the
instant at which you pressed ENTER, so you do not need to be concerned about moving around or
losing satellite reception, your Waypoint is safely stored.
To rename the Waypoint:
1. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to select the name and press ENTER.
2. Enter the new waypoint name using the ROCKER KEYPAD, and press ENTER.
Each waypoint may also be assigned a custom waypoint symbol for easy recognition on the Map
page.
To change the Waypoint symbol:
1. Highlight the Waypoint symbol fi eld (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.
At the bottom of the Waypoint Marked page there are three option buttons that may be selected:
Delete deletes the waypoint.
Show Map Shows the waypoint on the Map page.
Route To It Tells the unit that you want to navigate to that waypoint.
Reference
Marking Waypoints
A waypoint is stored in memory as soon as the ‘Waypoint
Marked’ 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.
