Marking and Saving Waypoints
Knowing your present position is only part of any navi-
gation equation. You also need to keep track of where
you've been and where you are going. Waypoints serve as
electronic markers that let you keep track of starting points,
destinations, navaids and any other important position.
The GPS 45XL allows you to mark, store and use up to
250 waypoints. A waypoint position can be entered by tak-
ing an instant electronic fix or by manually entering a coor-
dinate or range and bearing in reference to an existing way-
point. If you try to mark a waypoint without having a posi-
tion fix, you'll be notified with a 'No GPS Position' message.
