The GPS 125 Sounder's
advanced waypoint and
planning features allow you
to create new waypoints
and practice navigation
without ever leaving the
slip.
If you create a new way-
point by entering coordi-
nates from a map, you may
want to re-mark the way-
point's exact position once
you get there. To re-define
an existing waypoint's posi-
tion coordinates from the
waypoint definition page,
simply highlight the 'DST'
field and press ENTER. Use
the LEFT arrow key to set
the distance to 0.00, and
press ENTER to confirm.
The old coordinates will be
replaced by the coordinates
of your present position
(you must have a valid 2D
or 3D position fix).
