To mark your present position:
1. Hold down the ENTER/MARK key until the 'New Waypoint' window appears, then release the key.
The window will show a default 3-digit waypoint name/number (001), symbol (dot), and position.
You can leave the name as the auto-assigned number, but for this exercise, change the name
to 'DOCK'.
2. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the waypoint name fi eld (001) and press ENTER/MARK.
You will see that just the fi rst '0' is now highlighted.
3. Press LEFT on the ARROW KEYPAD to clear the name fi eld.
4. Press the UP or DOWN arrow of the ARROW KEYPAD until the letter 'D' appears, and then press
the RIGHT arrow key to go to the next space to the right, then UP or DOWN again until 'O' appears.
Repeat this until you have entered the name 'DOCK'. If you make a mistake and select an incorrect
character, simply use the LEFT arrow key of the ARROW KEYPAD to backspace the cursor and then
UP or DOWN to correct the entry. (If you accidentally press ENTER/MARK before you are done,
simply press ENTER/MARK again and move the highlight to where you left off.)
5. After you have entered all the letters, press ENTER/MARK to confi rm the name.
6. To access the waypoint symbol page, highlight the waypoint symbol fi eld which is to the left of the
waypoint's name and press ENTER/MARK. Note that the default symbol is a dot.
7. You will see an alphabetical list of available waypoint symbols to choose from. You will see a scroll
bar on the right of the window indicating your current position on the entire list of symbols. Press
the ARROW KEYPAD UP or DOWN until you highlight the 'ANCHOR' symbol.

9. Highlight 'OK' at the bottom of the window and press ENTER/MARK again to confi rm the 'OK'
prompt and save the waypoint. You may also highlight 'Delete' and press ENTER/MARK to not
save the waypoint.
The waypoint is now stored in memory. Note that waypoints may also be created graphically with
