Mark screen
The Mark option from
the Menu list provides a
function similar to the
LOG button when held
down for 2 to 3 seconds
Saving Your Current Position as a Waypoint
Saving your current position as a waypoint is very easy and
can be done regardless of whether a GIS job is open or not.
From any navigation screen, just hold down the LOG button
for 2 to 3 seconds until the Mark screen is displayed. This
screen provides the description of the waypoint you are
about to save.
You can accept all the defaults by simply pressing ENTER
(
Save field already highlighted).
You can also edit the
Icon, Name and Message fields using the
arrow keys to access these fields. Obviously you should keep
the
Location and Elevation fields unchanged as they contain
the coordinates of your current location.
Creating a Waypoint With the Map Cursor
This is another way of creating a waypoint whose coordi-
nates will be based on the location of the cursor on the Map
screen.
Press NAV until the Map screen is displayed. Press any ar-
row key to make the cursor visible on the map. Move the cur-
sor to the desired location on the map using any arrow keys.
Hold down the LOG button for 2 to 3 seconds until the Mark
screen is displayed.
