Zooming, Panning, and Map Options (cont.)
From the waypoint definition page, you can also
define how each individual waypoint is displayed on
the map. The GPS 12XL displays waypoints as a name
with a corresponding symbol (e.g., "fuel" and a gas
pump symbol), a symbol only (e.g., a fish symbol), or a
16-character comment and corresponding symbol (e.g.,
"great view" and the camp site symbol). The waypoint
name has a six character limit while the "comment"
field has a 16-character limit, and there are 16 different
waypoint symbols available.
To select a waypoint display option:
1. Display the waypoint definition page for the desired
waypoint (by selecting a waypoint from the Map Page
or from a waypoint list).
2. Highlight the "symbol" field (to the right of the name
field), and press
3. Move the cursor to the 'DISPLAY' field, and press
.
4. Select a display option, and press
of the following display options: 'NAME WITH SYM-
BOL,' 'SYMBOL ONLY,' or 'COMMENT WITH SYMBOL.'
5. Press to confirm the 'DONE?' prompt.
6. Press again (on the waypoint definition page)
to return to the Map Page.
The last function you can perform with a waypoint
highlighted on the Map Page is a GOTO directly to the
waypoint.
To go to a waypoint highlighted on the Map Page:
1. Press while the waypoint is highlight by the
crosshair.
2. Press to confirm the GOTOwaypoint page.

bearing to the target displayed at the top corners of the

new waypoint position or as a GOTO destination right
from the map field.
To mark the target crosshair as a new waypoint:
