Garmin Precedus GPS Receiver User Manual


 
You can also return to the navigation function without
assigning a new destination waypoint from the list by
pressing the button.
Important
You can control the types of waypoints that show
on the display as the result of a search for
nearest waypoints. The “MAP SETUP” menu
function allows you to choose whether or not to
display airports, VORs, NDBs, and intersections
as searched waypoints and on the moving map
screens. Before you fly, make sure to check this
option and confirm that the waypoint types you
wish to show will appear on the display after a
search and while using the moving map screens.
Creating
User
Waypoints
The Precedus allows you to create up to 1,000 of your own
waypoints, each with a 6-character name you choose. As you
navigate, you may wish to create waypoints at locations that are
important to you, or waypoints to which you plan to return. You
can use your present position or enter either lat/lon coordinates
or radial and distance position relative to another waypoint for
the waypoint’s location.
Use the new waypoint function to create
waypoints. Press the button and
the current position coordinates are
assigned to the next user waypoint
number. The new waypoint function
screen allows you to enter a waypoint
name of your choice, or you can use the
default waypoint name that the unit
assigns as a number.
Press the buttons to move
the highlight to the desired character in
the waypoint name. Press the
buttons to change it. Once you have
entered the desired waypoint name, you
can assign it to the new waypoint in
place of the automatically assigned
number by pressing the button.
