Modifying Waypoint Data Fields
Each of the four fields in the Create Waypoint window can
be modified. Each field is assigned a default value determined
by the way in which the window was accessed. You can modify
a field or accept the default values.
To modify one of the fields, use the CURSOR KEY to high-
light the field you wish to modify and press ENTER.
The highlight on the first
character in the field be-
comes active. Press up or
down on the CURSOR
KEY to scroll through the al-
phanumeric character list,
press left or right to move the
cursor to the next character.
If you want to clear the entire name or description line press
the Clear softkey.
If you want to restore the name or description field to what it
was at before you made these changes press the Restore softkey.
This will not restore the field to its default value, but to what-
ever value it was when you pressed ENTER to begin this edit.
When you have completed editing the field, press ENTER.
You may now use the CURSOR KEY to move to another
field.
