waypoints, activating a GOTO route or creating a multileg route.

If Near Position, Near City or Near Cursor is

Selecting Waypoints from the Alphabetical List.
If Alphabetical is selected as the “Find By” option
for the database a slightly different screen from the
Nearest list is displayed. A keyboard is graphically
displayed allowing you to enter the name of the
waypoint or map object you are looking for. You
need not enter the entire name, just enough letters
to narrow the search down. (A minimum of four
characters is recommended.) Selecting “OK” and
pressing enter brings up a listing of the waypoints, starting with the one
you entered at the top.
Note: When selecting the User category, the SporTrak does not use the
keyboard display.
