Creating a Waypoint by Entering Coordinates
You can manually enter location coordinates to create a waypoint.
This method can be useful for creating a waypoint at a specific
latitude/longitude position from a chart. You can manually change
the location coordinates in the New Waypoint page to create a new
waypoint or use the Create Waypoint selection in the User Points
tab options menu.
To create a
new waypoint by entering location
coordinates:
1. Press ENTER/MARK to create a waypoint (or use your
favorite method discussed in previous sections). The new
waypoint is created with the next available waypoint number
and the receiver’s last know position as the default position.
2. On the New Waypoint page, use the Rocker key to highlight
the Location field and press ENTER. Use the Rocker key
to enter the desired position coordinates and press ENTER
when finished.
To change the location of a waypoint, highlight the character you want to
change in the Location field. Press Up or Down on the Rocker key to change
the character. Repeat until the new location is entered.
To change any of the other information on the New Waypoint
page, highlight the appropriate field and press
ENTER. After
entering your changes, highlight OK and press ENTER.
