Set a Waypoint
A waypoint is simply an electronic address, based on the latitude and
longitude of a position on the earth. A waypoint represents a location or
destination that can be stored in memory, then recalled later for navi-
gational use.
You can create a waypoint at the cursor position on the map or at your
current position while you are navigating. A waypoint may be created
at any location by manually entering the position's latitude and longi-
tude.
