3.4 WAYPOINTS

waypoints. A waypoint consists of a name (up to six letters and/or
numbers), its latitude/longitude location, last time/date of modification,
and a one-line comment. There are four waypoint pages. The softkeys
at the bottom of each page allow the selection of each page:

waypoints), and LIST (waypoint list). To start the waypoint pages, press
WPT. The Nearest and Proximity Waypoint Pages are covered in
Chapter 5.
