From this point, you can create a waypoint by pressing and holding the

are entering the address you will notice that the available range is

GOTO routes are not saved in memory. When you turn your Meridian
off and then back on, the GOTO route is gone. You need to create a
new GOTO route if you intend on completing the route.

being instructed to select the "Find By". You can select only those
waypoints in your general vicinity (Nearest) or all of the waypoints in
the category in alphabetical order (Alphabetical).
Creating a Backtrack Route — Creates a route using track information
stored in the Meridian to "retrace" your steps. A good example of using
a backtrack would be if you were out hiking or jogging with your
Meridian turned on and computing position fixes. After 30 minutes
