Set a Waypoint

A waypoint is simply an electronic address, based on the latitude and
longitude of a position on the earth. A waypoint represents a location or
destination that can be stored in memory, then recalled later for navi-
gational use.
You can create a waypoint at the cursor position on the map or at your
current position while you are navigating. A waypoint may be created
at any location by manually entering the position's latitude and longi-
tude. You can copy waypoints from your unit to your personal computer
with MapCreate software. When you want to repeat a trip, these ar-
chived waypoints can be reloaded into your GPS unit.
