The CREATE softkey lets you create new waypoints by entering a name and
position, or by entering the distance and bearing from an existing (reference)
waypoint.
To create a new waypoint from the list submenu:
1. If the waypoints list isn’t currently displayed, select it by pressing the WAYPTS
softkey, followed by the LIST softkey.
2. Press the CREATE softkey.
3. Use the K keypad to enter the new waypoint name.
4. Press the OK softkey to confirm the name.
5. The Create a New Waypoint window will appear, with the icon field
highlighted. To select an icon for your waypoint, press C and use the K
keypad to choose the icon. Press the C key to confirm the selection.
6. To enter the position coordinates of the new waypoint, highlight the position
field and press C. Use the K keypad to enter the position, and press C to
confirm the entry.
7. To accept the new waypoint with the default comment (the date and time of
creation), press C. To enter your own comment, highlight the comment field
and press the C key. Use the K keypad to enter the comment and press the
OK softkey to confirm your entry.
8. When you have finished entering all your waypoint data, use the K keypad to
highlight the OK prompt and press the C key.
If you don’t know the position coordinates for your new waypoint, you can
enter the distance and bearing from a reference waypoint (any waypoint stored
in memory), and the GPSMAP will calculate the coordinates for you.
